Pros

My team was amazing. Loads to learn from my senior developer and other team members. Unfortunately, my entire team got laid off so thats that. Good time off policy.

Cons

Management lacks overall vision. Reorgs happen with very high frequency. Most of the management has no idea what the developers/engineers/ML guys actually do and its relevance or importance. Team managers hold grudges against you if they have had bad blood with your previous managers. (happened to me when I was trying to move to a different team)

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits. Good talent

Cons

Poor management. Too much politics . Lack of respect for their employees and their contributions to the company. All that matters is the bottom line. The change in this company is not for the better as there are continual layoffs and no one is immune.

Ericsson and its Video business

Global solutions consultant

Business Outlook

Pros

Not many right now. They are good with their medical benefits and their 401 K employer contribution

Cons

THe business itself is not going anywhere. As a two decade veteran of the High tech Industry with over 12 years in the video business, E/// does not have the DNA to be a video business. It is a set of telco geeks who are trying their hand at the video busienss in a completely incoherent fashion. E/// went on a shopping spree to buy their way into the video marketplace in 2014-1016 but they never integrated the pieces into one coherent product offering. The Video hierarchy is headed at the top 4 layers with telco people with precious little understanding of the video business and neither the contacts in the video business. So in my view the long term success of the Video business is very unlikely.
