Pros

open workspace, good health insurance

Cons

In Ericsson Media Room I have worked for 2 years; I often worked until late evening and resolved customer issue escalation in weekend. Now I am just expecting my baby. I informed my manager last month. But I am still laid off this week. The laying off expecting mom is really illegal and inhumane. I am posting this review on the mother's day and endorsing this fortune 500 famous company.

Pros

- great company to start your career - some mature projects - salary for some people - job rotation - annual performance evaluations

Cons

- you're doing everything even if you're not supposed to (eg: development even though you're on an operations job) - proactiveness is encouraged but never praised or recognized - lack of work - balance (this was completely removed when the new management moved in last summer - yes i'm looking at you JOAO) - even though the international language in the company is english you're forced to deal with other languages in internal documents - lack of proper leadership and really bad management caused a lot of good old people to leave, including myself - you will not be given any compensations for anything you do extra, you will not even be recognized in any way (only the key people will, no matter how hard you try) - even if you're understaffed on your platform the management does not care as long as it puts more pressure on you but everything is working fine and you're doing the job of two people - they prefer to hire new guys that are totally unprepared and on low salaries than to promote or give a raise to older more qualified people that to the job perfectly, as long as they're cutting costs
