r/qualcomm

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!

Hi, I have an Interview for Assosicate Software Engineer at Qualcomm (B.Tech CSE from Tier 3)

I need some motivation.

please don't re-iterate things like "Qualcomm has bad WLB" etc.

just shoot good things like minimum possible base salary at Qualcomm (I haven't asked HR about salary yet), food, Cab etc.

Will it be possible if I can travel alternate weekend to BLR considering my role in Linux device driver as an engineer. Since my family is in Bangalore, is it feasible if I can travel to BLR alternate weekend in LDD team.

Hi,

I have been working in Qualcomm from last 2 years.

I want to shift from BLR to Noida.

Can you please tell me how to do that? Like convince my manager and hr for that?

​Hi everyone,

​I'm currently based in Bengaluru working for Qualcomm. Like many of you, I'm trying to secure a BH series registration to avoid the upfront 15-year road tax here in Karnataka, especially given how hostile the local RTOs are to private employees applying for BH plates.

​The company easily meets the central criteria of operating in 4+ states. The roadblock is our corporate HR—they are extremely reluctant to issue or sign the official Form 60 template, likely due to standard corporate administrative policies.

​To get around the Karnataka RTO mess, my plan is to purchase the car and register it in my home state (Bihar) where I have my permanent address proof, and then drive it down to Bengaluru.

​For those in the corporate sector whose HR outright refused the standard Form 60:

​The GST Workaround: Did your home state RTO accept a standard digital bonafide employment letter bundled with 4 state GST certificates downloaded from the public portal?

​HR Negotiation: Did you use any specific phrasing to convince HR to give you a custom declaration on company letterhead instead of the government template?

​RTO Leniency: For anyone who registered in Bihar recently, how strict are the RTOs there regarding the exact Form 60 format? Do local dealership agents have ways to push it through with alternate corporate documents?

Looking for some info/suggestions.

Thanks!!

Someone referred me to multiple positions over the years at Qualcomm. I’ve never heard back, is referral same as cold applying ?
