Hey everyone,

Tomorrow is my first day at Qualcomm Hyderabad! My joining location is E Building, KRC Tower, while my team is based out of Skyview.

Honestly, I’m feeling a little nervous about joining, especially after reading so many mixed opinions online about Qualcomm’s work-life balance. 😅

I’ll be joining on the software side, and I’m hoping things will turn out well. I know every team and manager can be different, but when you read so many posts about WLB, it’s hard not to overthink a little before starting somewhere new.

For those currently working at Qualcomm Hyderabad, especially on the software side, how has your experience been? Is it really as concerning as some posts make it sound, or does it largely depend on the team and manager?

Hoping everything goes well. 🤞 Wish me luck!

​

I’m specifically interested in the experience of software engineers working on cloud, backend, full-stack, or other software roles — not hardware/chip design roles.

How are the:

Work-life balance and typical working hours?

Work pressure and deadlines?

On-call/weekend expectations?

Remote/hybrid flexibility?

Team culture and management?

Job stability and layoffs for software teams?

Would especially appreciate insights from current or former Qualcomm software employees. Thanks!
