Qualcomm

Our office is located in Whitefield, which everyone knows is the tech hub of Bangalore. We’re at the Spike building on Plots 125 through 127 in the EPIP zone. Qualcomm is a big name globally, but inside these walls, we’re just a group of engineers and testers doing the daily grind. The Phase II area is always busy with people, delivery bikes, and cars. We spend most of our time in labs or at our cubicles. It’s a lot of work on mobile chips and wireless tech. It gets pretty technical and the days can be quite long. We aren't here to give you a polished sales pitch. We’re the ones actually doing the testing and the design work. Sometimes the equipment acts up or the software has a bug that takes all day to find. We eat at the local canteens or get food delivered when we're too busy to leave our desks. It’s a high-pressure environment sometimes, but we’ve got a good group of people here. We don't use much corporate speak when we’re just talking amongst ourselves. We’re mostly focused on getting the next generation of chips ready. It’s a lot of looking at data and graphs. The commute to Whitefield is famously bad, so that’s a common topic of conversation. Despite the big name, we’re just folks trying to do our jobs well and get home to our families at the end of the day.
