      Pros

      Good local team, good local management.

      Cons

      Management inconsistent across company. Too much "good old boy" at the mid-level to top.

      Slow, mediocre but respectful.

      Pros

      Overall respectful environment. Work life balance is their best value proposition.

      Cons

      If you are Swedish, very easy to get promoted. Most attractive HQ jobs go directly to Swedish citizens. Inclusiveness is low in Sweden, but higher in the other offices. A bit slow, and bureaucratic. Average age is in late 40's, so don't expect a fun work environment in the HQ. Mediocre performance is accepted and cherished.

      It's a company where you can work and get paid, that's all!

      Pros

      - Still leading the telecommunication industry with many large telecom companies as its customer across the world. - Leading the 5G revolution. - Adapting to the change in the software and technology industry at large. - Many smart engineers to work with. - Lots of good perks and good work-life balance.

      Cons

      - Struggling to be agile in the fast-changing hardware and software industry. Dealing with the similar problems faced by big companies (although many companies have managed to change faster than Ericsson) like bureaucracy, politics, too many decision-makers, organization-wide policies (one-size-fits-all policies across geographies). - Archaic processes and tools being used across the organization making teams and engineers drag their feet to get projects done. - Perks not competent enough to hire good talent (especially in Bay Area).
