Ericsson reviews

In my organisation, the teams kept changing every few weeks. There was always a dull period where no work would be executed before a huge rush to deliver for a deadline. There was a lot of lazy people and management is completely out of touch with the customers and their bottom line. They're so out of touch, they had no idea who their best performers are. There was always a couple of idle teams with no work to accomplish, yet there was no incentive to learn or research on your own. All the senior developers were promoted to managerial positions and the product was lead by a handful of out of college kids. Any changes to improve the situation from bottom-up, or top-down is met with a lot of resistance from everywhere.

Work life balance is a joke. They never push back on customers. Career progression is impossible, unless you're a good manager. Even then they may reorganise your position away. Wages are stagnant. Competition from far east companies and among the remaining western companies means virtually everything is offshored. There is a danger of skills rot due to enterprise customers often being conservative in accepting new technologies, and the long shelf-life of certain products. Change: this doesn't contradit the previous comment, but there is always a lot of change. New solutions, but often based on "old" technology.
