Pros

Great Benefits. Talented people in the technical ranks.

Cons

Only a quarter of bad revenues will lead to a layoff. US senior management doesn't have a clue.

Business Outlook

Pros

You do not need to work if you don't want to. It is really hard to make yourself fired, you have to steal for that. Private projects can be done during worktime.

Cons

Everybody gets bonus, good work will not be rewarded. There is no relation between bonus and quality of work. Managers are dumb.

Watch out for bad managers at Ericsson

Field service engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ericsson Europe is team-oriented and fun to work at, although it is quite bureaucratic. Health benefits are quite good although Ericsson U.S. has becoming gradually worse in terms of health benefits. The engineers are usually very dedicated and fun to work with. The management is sometimes NOT.

Cons

Ericsson U.S. is unstable. The jobs keep moving back and forth between U.S. and Canada, and they keep closing down offices and opening new offices, so you have to live out of your suitcase. The stock price is bad and it keeps crawling up and then again takes a plunge. The stock price is far from its height in 2001. Year 2002 the company was near bankruptcy and managed to survive by borrowing money from its employees through a stock offer plan. The management teams in Ericsson U.S. are the worst ever. They keep putting people fresh off the boat in management positions and let them run their teams like a sweat shop in Mumbai. They suck the life out of you and work you to death and the pay is outrageously low.
