Qc Classifieds is so busy these days. ppl selling the kids toys, 14 yrs old matresses, fresh chicken and duck eggs, doing real estate business, providing 7 dollars haircuts in the parking. QC is gone
IOS?
I am thinking of using IOS to transfer internally because the morale in my department is at rock bottom. The policy on the IOS page states that I can apply internally without letting my manager knows until I get an offer from the other department. I... — read more
Qualcomm is Awesome PERIOD.
This is the best motherfucking company out there. In fact it's so awesome I recently submitted a letter to my HR asking for a 50% salary cut in an effort to help out with the company's bottom line. Man up and do the same when the economy picks up... — read more
Remember that 8994 project
Remember how there was that thermal issue claim, and how everyone boasted how losing samsung wasn't a big deal because they have other clients. Management was smug in reminding us "at least we got the project done on time". Then when things went bad... — read more
PJ turning Dropbox into Q, by being frugal to its employees
“When it comes to building a healthy and sustainable business, every dollar counts. And while it's okay for us to have nice things, it's important to remember to ask ourselves, 'would I spend my own money this way?"... — read more
While HR posts its brain washing propaganda here, Q continues to bring over H-1Bs to replace US workforce
And "everything is awesome"
Was Qualcomm trying to be everything to everyone?
Been in Q a few years and reflecting back on all the things that i have seen come and go. Smart Watches, TV gadet, robots/robot investment. Now drones, server chips, and iot stuff. I kind of agree with the server chips, but Q got lucky that intel... — read more
New word definition for the English language
LOSER: (1) A person that works for qulcomm during the year 2016 AD with a title that includes the word "Engineer" PERIOD. (2) Anybody that disagrees with definition (1).
QCA attrition
Being in the Silicon Valley, its employees have lots of options outside of Q. People are leaving in packs, as we see farewell lunches at Sonoma every week. Sad to see how they really messed up a once great company.
How Sad
You people are robots and well programmed.
ESPP
When are the two offering periods?
Pity the guys that left qcom and joined LeTv
All the politics of qcom..but only you get to do in Chineese... Heard pay also sucked..
WHY???
QUALCOMM is such a great company. What's your problem?? Why would you want to leave?? Are people this crazy. I'm having a hard time comprehending. San Diego is the best city to live in and Qualcomm the best company to work for PERIOD.
Looks like Amazon hiring
Lot of qualcommers getting into amazon. Heard one senior director from linux joined as non manager under an SDM? Amazon.com still a good company to join?
Can i get everyones honest opinion?
If i have three qualcomm workers. One who wears always sandals, one manager who always has a nicely starched shirt everyday, and one who wears gym pants. Which one of these people will have the least productive output of work?
The AMAZING life of an engineer at Qualcomm
I just got back home today and reflected on what an totally awesome life I have. Working at Qualcomm is living the American dream. Every morning I wake up full of joy feeling excited to get to work. The huge diversity at the office is so nice. I get... — read more

Paul Jacobs joins Dropbox board
They must really value his opinion and expertise. When the company founded by his father got into deep sh-- last year, this is what he had to say "Um...bummer!"
Being a US citizen at Q
Let's see I walk in to the office. They call it diversity but it really isn't. All it feels like is Bombai or Shnaghai in there. I get these looks of astonishment from Indians and Chinese just bc I'm white. Come lunch there is this Chinese and Hindu... — read more

Close it down
This section. There are no more layoffs. Just shut it down and move on.
Need help from QCOM folks
My boss at Intel told me that Murthy didn't do any layoff at Qualcomm. I don't believe it. Can you please provide me some data/links about layoff when this guy was there?
There's nobody like him (except maybe Padovani) at Qualcomm now. He was a polymath and he had class. Unlike the trash at the Q now.

In case you missed the news... Intel cancelled the Atom SOC product line, effective immediately. Also, the LTE modems are most likely out.
