In my opinion, whoever thinks that more cuts are not needed is delusional. The only problem is that this company, instead of cutting useless slackers and dead wood, cuts people who do all the work. Just saying.

Hi, is the NUVIA team affected by recent layoffs?

I really don't think the management has taken into consideration how an employee feels when his colleague, who was otherwise an excellent employee and a great performer, is affected. Are they aware of how demotivating it is for us who are still... — read more

My bad I don't belong to the right village

Rumors about cuts are circulating and there is never any transparency here so people are nervous and anxious for a reason. This is a complete mess. I still haven't been notified, I'm safe for now but I'm getting ready to hear the bad news.

What makes me most anxious is the fact that cuts here are rarely based on performance. I wish I wasn't right. I would feel a lot more relaxed if there was some logic when it comes to cuts, but this way it's impossible not to be worried.

Judging by what people write here, it seems that many have already received the notice.

Heard 5 people got the notification today. One in mixed-signal group in SD

I still don't know what frustrates me more, the fact that I didn't get the promotion I worked so hard for, or my manager's completely meaningless explanation of why I didn't get promoted. I'm trying, but it's hard not to make it obvious how... — read more

I still cannot understand the logic by which some of the high performers fail to be promoted, while others get promoted so easily. Can someone explain it to me, why are promotions done they way they are? It's demoralizing when you see that people... — read more 

Used to be great food, now I feel disappointed every time I eat at any of the cafes. Lower food quality and smaller portions. Sad.

I heard some rumors that layoffs were already happening, or are coming. Curious to see if anyone in IT has gotten their notice.

If the market makes a turn soon, do you think there will be Qualcomm layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Is QUALCOMM promoting everywhere as a retention tool? Many don’t deserve promotions but still happening.

Or are there still those who are convinced that they are safe?

You have over leveraged your job to your survival

I keep hearing directors will be asked to identify candidates after thanksgiving. Is it true?

If the cuts will be performance based, those who recently got a job here should be safe, I guess!?

5% raise earlier this year. Now you get 3.5% more. People have short memory.

Let's get the party started

Any rumors of layoffs? If so how many ? And whats the comp package?

It is impossible to talk about working at Qualcomm in general, since so much depends on which department someone is in. What do you think is the worst department?

Look at their hiring selection and the way how they speak to the team and their emails to control. Staff and below-Huge workload on Bondsman. Who works for low cost. Above staff- their club members only and no work.

Germany and uk salaries are not good compared to India. Staff and Sr staff level. How much they offer for a staff, sr.staff and principal?

Inflation is running 9%+ this year and yet the company just awarded me a whooping 3.5% salary increase. Wondering what other people are getting this time around.

Very soon, managers will be asked to come up with a list of potential lay off at 5%,10% and Laos worst case scenario 25% cut.

Maybe some people don't, but I still care about this company and my job here. Lets have a sincere discussion about this: do you think that the company's strategy is wrong or not, and what are the biggest strategy mistakes made by Q in your... — read more 

Someone recently asked me about the corporate culture at Qualcomm. How would you describe it? Am I too bitter if all I see around me is unhealthy competition, backstabbing, nepotism, taking credit for other people's work and the like?

Which of the two options would you vote for to temper uncontrolled inflation inspite of fed interest rate increases?

Hi All, I am Sr. Staff (I have been with Qualcomm 2 years). I have consistently gotten 4 last 2 years, but I was not promoted this year. I am wondering if what is the score to get promoted?

Close your laptop and do not answer emails after a certain hour and on weekends. I had people try to reach out at all hours, weekends, etc. When they realized I would not answer no matter what they stopped. Basically, this is a great advice, but... — read more
