Great place to grow your career

Pros

Ericsson is a great place to grow your career. They are working on cutting edge technology, have offices all over the world, and employ incredibly talented and passionate people who are great to work with. They move very fast, which can be tough for some, but those who are willing to move quickly can grow and build their skills in an accellerated and meaningful way.

Cons

Ericsson has unfortunately gone through some tough times in recent years, which has impacted the moral in some offices more than others. However, I think they are coming out of it just as strong as they were before.

Not a great company - Layoffs every year

Software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Health benefits Work life balance PTO

Cons

Every year they layoff 10%, sometime if they don't make good profit they layoff two times a year, there is lot of politics. The Management does not care about the employees well being, they want to make huge profits. I saw lot of new grads hired and getting layed off after one year. This is not a company where you can build your career with. Just get some experience and leave.
