Qualcomm System Engineer salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Salary is great when you join, stocks are given in huge bonuses.

Dislikes

Startup culture with zero understanding from management. Everything they want to get it done in minutes, you will be working constantly in calls 24*7 and nobody will even care you had lunch or dinner. Too much toxic nobody wants to help on basic ecosystem also. They wont even have time to help you. Late night work is very common till 1-2 am

Likes

Salary and other benefits very good. They gave good amount of hikes and shares to employees

Dislikes

Work life balance is very bad. Very high toxic environment created with high micro managent. Not good gor fresher's as the people here don't help each other in work as the feel like the other person is competitor to each other

Likes

Good salaries Manageable work life balance (depends on the team though) Great job security (in Qualcomm India) Good culture Meals and cabs available Quite a big gym in the campus

Dislikes

...and QC doesn't easily let go of any employee. So, some people are enjoying Govt. job like job satisfaction with much better pay. HR needs to do a much better job in bringing the right talent to the hiring managers and also, in organising employee engagement activities.

Likes

Good pay. Work gives satisfaction but at the same time it gets too hectic( believe me engineers have to stay in office till midnight also if the work is not complete)

Dislikes

Managers micro manage team members and there is a lot of politics involved in work assignment and appraisals. The complaints don't get heard even at higher levels due to politics(since managers and above have been there for around 15 years together so basically you cannot complain about any issue as higher management people have worked together for a long time). Not so open work culture overall.

Likes

Working on Technical things, non-technical is very less.

Dislikes

...in, not much scope for wider growth 4. Upper management sounds non-technical 5. Pay is average and not as per experience 6. Groupism and favoritism across team 7. No clear direction for promo 8. No appreciation
