Ericsson Response

Thanks for commenting on Glassdoor. We are proud of our open floor plans and we are working toward increasing diversity across our workforce. We have dedicated professionals in TA and TM that are working on our diversity initiatives each day. Our benefits are also well liked by employees. While Texas is a major recruitment hub for the US, we do have many opportunities across the globe as well.

Business Outlook

Pros

Company takes care about employees. Good salary and bonuses. Big room for innovation and personal contribution. Very friendly team. Occasional travels to different places over the world.

Cons

Unstable company, you have to be ready to be laid off. Management does not exactly know what is going on and where it is going. Too many teams are involved in the same project, in other words you are depending on performance of too many people (you even do not know them, it is a challenge to understand why something is not working any more, who is responsible for that and when it will be fixed)

One of the worst jobs I've ever had

Business Outlook

Pros

- Decent pay - Awesome benefits package

Cons

The good ole boys network (and good ole "girls") is in full effect here. Politics are rampant, nepotism is everywhere, and if you don't have an established network and a good manager, be prepared to be profiled/railroaded when you want to do the right thing. Layoffs are frequent. Unprofessional behavior is tolerated, and even seems to be rewarded.
