Hauwei, China slow down, eventual recession ahead. Expect big lay off in 3-6 months. That’s the reality. No one can rescue qcom. Revenue go down Q over Q

Does anybody ever feel that when Qualcomm needs to hire managers, the posting says "no experience necessary?" Because it certainly feels that way once we get them. /rant over

Short question. Does settling the Apple dispute mean that Qualcomm's way of conducting business won’t be questioned anymore and that we will be seeing far less litigation in the future, or does it mean nothing more than it is, two companies settling... — read more 

I've heard that people who give their two-weeks notice are escorted out immediately. Is this true? Why would this be the case?

Hiring spree has started in some teams.

Send a message to the board and executive team. No one show up to happy hour and human 5G Ariel photo! Employees should have gotten bonuses first before executive team. Do this in honor of those hard workers forced out and of all the blood, sweat... — read more

Prepare for more layoffs, this will be needed for all the executives bonuses

Some of the best people at my location have been laid off in the past year. Others left on their own. All end all, some of the best people are not working anymore. Is that the case at other locations? Is it safe to say that we lost some of the most... — read more 

Why aren’t people talking about layoffs? Is it really the case that there aren’t any at Qualcomm at this time, at least in the numbers that the people on this board find worth debating? If that’s the case, I have to say I haven’t seen it happen in a... — read more 

What about the unvest RSUs?

In recognition of the outstanding efforts of the executive management team, both individually and as leaders of the teams involved, in achieving the recently announced license agreement and chipset supply agreement with Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) and the... — read more 

I'm glad for SM, 40,794 shares bonus for the fruit settlement. I guess he got some of the unvested 2000 RSU I lost when I got laid off.

Why is Qualcomm so willing to let go of our top talent without even putting up a fight? I'm not even talking about layoffs (even if that certainly is a part of it) but people who are leaving to join our competitors and are finding no resistance here... — read more 

$7B settlement to $4.5 settlement to fruit company.. why? I'm from Finance team... I smell that there is a mutual exchange of $$$.. The pivot person made a nice cashout..along with the b-ngo brazili Stock should have been at $100 by now..

I hope you sold at the peak. We'll never see that again.

Make sure you specifically state you want more $$$$$$

Is it possible that the resolution of the Apple dispute caused the positive effects this soon. I don’t see people getting cut, morale is much better, at my location they are taking in new hires, even this board seems to be quieting down. Dod it all... — read more 

Internal info. After settlement is expected stock to drop, info came from PTE VP on an email from SM. Sell all while you can. Good luck. Kaveh.

I scrolled down most of the threads on this board and I can’t see anybody mentioning layoffs recently. Is it possible that there are none in such a big company like Qualcomm? Kind of hard to imagine.

My Job coach has been waiting 5 months for her security clearance ID badge and still there are no word from them yet. I am coming up with theories about the security clearance process of why it is taking too long. My question is, who are the higher... — read more 

I have job offer in San Diego GSOC team. Is this good? Is there good collaboration? Is scoring fair?

What is the work culture like in this department?

I know this is always a danger for the US based workers, so I guess the answer would be more or less obvious, but more concrete, has anybody heard about any specific plans regarding a wave of outsourcing some more segments of the company?

I was laid off in 2018. I would love to come back to Qualcomm. Does anyone have suggestions? I got a better job in another state but San Diego is my home and I really want to come back.

At least that’s my opinion, based on what I see at my office. People seem to be relieved, in a better mood, far less depression. Didn’t know that people were worried by the dispute that much. Has anybody noticed the same thing at their location, or... — read more

Anybody else think that MAV will get the same level of tech support as they did in the past? I would fricking hope that the A team is NOT assigned that thankless task.
