Business Outlook

Pros

The company is a ''good resume for you", you can end up in a good university with Ericsson project management experience. International perspective. Many opportunities to improve processes and procedures, if you are looking for you have the chance to learn a lot, even though it is not so easy to learn from others.

Cons

The general level of intelligence is low, people are grumpy, combat / survival mode. Not a real team and real strive to improve, mainly trying to show off, short-term results oriented. Salaries are ridiculous

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, nice office building to work in, most of the mgmt team is respectful and wants to do what is best for the employee and the company.

Cons

Layoff's happen every year not due to the business but due to a annual 10% purging of the employee population.

Scarce upward movement if not connected with upper management which is 80% Indian, it helps to be one and be connected

Business Outlook

Pros

Ericsson is solvent, the company has strong cash reserves and is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Cons

Extremely arrogant company, regularly lays people off and doesn't allow them to return (USA) if you quit. Compensation is on the low end, which ties to being worthy to just work at Ericsson. Lousy office environment, management leads by fear! "Do what we say or you'll be let go" attitude.
