First off, I have had a good number of jobs and internships while a student at UCSD. Working at Qualcomm has been the best of all of them (with the exception of working at SIO and having an ocean view, but I digress!)
The tasks were always fun and interesting. I was not treated like an "intern", but rather as an equal with everyone else. I received a real office (you know, with actual ways and a door!), a desktop and a laptop. I was actually put in charge of a few projects, and had other engineerings giving me status reports. In addition, I was able to learn a lot about industrial tools and methods. My manager was awesome and the scheduling was flexible to fit school.
The benefits at Qualcomm are great too! There's a gym with a pool and sauna in the building, as well as a gourmet cafe that can make almost anything you want! They even provide you with free catered dinner if you work full-time.
I would definitely recommend working with Qualcomm!

Without going into details, I thought this internship was awesome. Coworkers were willing to teach and I was exposed to a lot of new things. There was a mix of the tedious intern type of work and the challenging full-time type of work. If you want the challenge, it's there waiting for you. If you do well, you'll be rewarded and possibly earn a full-time position.
Overall, I enjoyed my internship and the pay was great as an intern. Team building events and annual company parties/events are definitely something to look forward to.

First of all, NO CUBICS!
The first day I got there as an internet I had an office with an accent wall. Also, when I first entered my office my brand new thinkpad was all setup with my 21'' external monitor.
My leaders were all super cool people we never lost focus that I was an intern as always were trying to help me grow and work around my school schedule.
Any equipment I needed (software, hardware) all I had to do was ask and I got it. No fighting with an IT department, just had to ask my supervisor. After you leave you have the option to buy your laptop for a reduced price too.
Minimal meetings, fast paced, structured test driven development (at least in my group)
We had lots of team building activities where we would go out for lunch or go carting at K1, etc.
There's an amazing gym to use with a heated pool. Good cafeteria.
My only grip - and the reason I left early - was the way the pay interns. They pay by your grade level, which isn't always fair.
Anyways, go to school and get the paper. And try this place out.
Oh the traffic is iffy...
