What don't you like about working at Qualcomm?

"Well it's a maze of mazes, so they really need a search party to find you. I even see people working today, the holiday, just to meet schedule, but in most cases the design gets sent to India for the lower pay or no OT at all. So this is what makes me want to be here."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Well first of all have not an idealistic plan but a realistic plan. Also accelerated schedules mean accelerated cost, that's why phones are subsidized."
