Pros

I wanted write some pros but absolutely there is nothing...

Cons

many..Athlone is the boring place in the world.. There is nothing todo... All Team leaders /senior Engineers are memorized some concepts,they don't have analytic /problem solving capabilities. So many bugs you cant even imagine...And managers even don't have a clue whats going on..

Good place to work but suffers from big company syndrome

Pros

Ericsson is a globally established and well known company. The pay is competitive and the benefits are better than any other company for whom I've worked. There are many smart, capable, quality people you'll be working with on a daily basis. Their technology is diversified enough to provide interesting challenges and opportunities.

Cons

Ericsson has the Swedish mindset throughout the company - extremely risk adverse and wanting absolute, unanimous consensus before any strategic decision is made. This results in moving much slower than competitors to exploit new opportunities. While the reluctance to let under-performers go creates much more job-security for everyone, it does lessen the feeling of accountability and urgency needed to progress a company.

Pros

Great benefits but poor management and leaders. CEO needs to move on and bring in someone that cares about their employees.

Cons

Layoffs consistent throughout the year. Bad employee moral. Poor management and poor leaders. No work life balance.
