Location: San Diego, CA
Company: Qualcomm Inc
Experience: Mid-level
Highest Level of Education: Undergraduate Degree



Job Responsibilities
As a support staff member of a group of engineers (76 total) which includes 2 Directors and 10 managers my activities will range from assisting with expenses, meetings and facilitating activites to document control.
Job Requirements
My experience stems from a myraid activities (i.e. General Education, Special attention to Business Automation & Administration, Trade School & On-the-job Training). Most rewarding experience for any role expanding learning experience differing environments is much more beneficial.
Uppers
Trust - staff members know that they are trusting enough to allow you the freedom to complete each task as you see fit. Opportunities - they allow you to seek an entreprenurial mind-set as if you were working for your own company. Small Company Mentality - I enjoy that although Qualcomm is a large company - it still feels like a small company. A large company that assumes this "personality" often alienates its staff PDK.
Downers
Some days are lighter than others.
Lifestyle
Open minded individuals - constantly surrounded with "out of the box" thinking and evolving as the days move on. There are many different mindsets that agree on the same thing - personal growth and opportunities to seek other ways of doing things.
Compensation
Excellent benefits.
Advice to Jobseekers
Qualcomm is an innovator of new technologies; it is a company of people who "think" and believe in developing new technologies. I expected this company to have the "big company" mentality - but suprisingly enough, it doesn't. Everyone is supportive in your personal & professional growth.
