Ericsson is a great career choice

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to work on the latest technology, superior benefits, exciting growth potential, support for certifications & training, competitive compensation, industry respect

Cons

Lip service to performance evaluation. Unclear salary administration. Must be Swedish, get your ticket punched in Sweden or accept global assignments to rise up the ladder. Crushing processes are used as a shield against making decisions.

One-trick-pony management leading an otherwise good company into a dead end

Business Outlook

Pros

This concerns the former Managed Services; I can't speak for the design or installation operations - Decent pay and benefits (although nothing like Sweden) - Work from home or any company-owned or -managed facility - Lateral intra-company moves easy - Job possibilities throughout U.S.

Cons

- Constant, regular rounds of layoffs - No investment in tools or systems to manage future growth or business - Only projects that result in immediate cost savings will be approved; efficiency or customer experience are not valued or invested in - Convoluted business systems that meld the worst aspects of on-line and paper-based (i.e. expense reporting) - No communication from senior management about anything that counts (corporate flackery during all-hands calls, no solid information) - Offshore mania leads to enormous inefficiency and huge lag times to get even simple tasks done - If you work outside an office, you may never see anyone you work with
