Intern Benefits

More reasons to feel great about working at Qualcomm.

Being a Qualcomm intern manifests the best of many worlds. Not only do you reap the benefits of working with and learning from the “greats” in the business. But through our program, you get to round out your experience via opportunities to meet and mingle with your fellow interns. A variety of fun activities can be added to your schedule. And your intern connection on the company intranet lets you plug in to what is going on and where you can make things happen.

As for monetary benefits, interns get those too: You will accrue vacation and holiday pay, as well as payment for days off due to illness.
