Pros

The best thing the company has to offer to employees is great health insurance benefits, this is what keeps people working there.

Cons

The company has failed to secure new contracts, so the culture is you never know from one day to the next if you will have a job! Management is very uncaring of their employees and will layoff fulltime employees to hire contractors to come in and take their jobs to save money. Ericsson also has a policy of 80/20 which means 80% of the work has to be done offshore and they move to push everything the can to India so this displaces American workers. They require employees to log hours they do not work and if you do not do this you are placed on a list to be laid off.

Pros

Ericsson has some of the best benefits of any company out there, seriously gold star. Their pay was comparable or better than other companies. My coworkers were smart and diligent; it was a good environment for achieving results and learning new technologies.

Cons

They made some very bad moves, especially in the Media division. They bought part of Microsoft to enhance their position in the IPTV space and then let that management team run wild. They overspent on a next generation cloud based IPTV platform, which over promised features and undelivered on results. It was too late to the market and didn’t deliver much over the previous products.
