Kontras
Long hours tedious work Promotions are based on doing tons of grunt work, not quality or smarts- quality gets you 3/5 , grunt gets you 4/5. cafe food is bad low salary stock that never goes up! - Wireless data is the most in thing in tech now, but at qualcomm at the center of this innovation we never saw any financial benefit out of it. Outside wireless/ may be systems companies unknown brand - even in San Diego where qualcomm is the largest private employer , when you tell people you work for qualcomm, they think you sell beer or something in qualcomm stadium
