"My experience with Qualcomm was unforgettable. Qualcomm and my relationship with the manager provided me work from home in my desperate situations where they had never done before. Provided my circumstances and situation help me out, I would love to work with them again at any cost. What all matters at the end of the day of your work is peace and healthy relationship, not money, where I had seen all those with Qualcomm. Coworker's helpful nature and Qualcomm great support makes me feel I had a step up in my life."
