Good company to work for prior to redundancy

Business Outlook

Pros

Ericsson can be very flexible, family oriented, with good benefits and understanding that personal time is required sometimes. Lots of training and development available especially technical engineering. Good teleworking opportunities.

Cons

Lots of politics. Ericsson tends to give senior jobs to Swedish staff, or staff who have worked in Sweden. Jobs offer go to people with internal contacts rather than ability.

Pros

None, actually. The new Top management team is looking just for juniors able to work 20 hrs a day with minimum wage

Cons

Lots of senior professionals leaving due to bad atmosphere created by top management (expats treating Romanian engineers as "white Indians" -real quote! )
