Pros

Pays market salary. Average employee benefits. Modern and bright office. Free parking for employees. Use of fitness centre near by.

Cons

Managers actually tell employees that they are over-paid and lucky to have a job at all. Zero chance to work on interesting projects or advance career based solely on merit. Employee morale is low compared to other software dev companies I've worked.

Business Outlook

Pros

- large company therefore lots of room to move around - well known company so looks great on CV - great opportunities to work on cutting edge projects - work/life balane - telecommuting options

Cons

- if you expect to get ahead based on merit, you're living in la la land - Ericsson is a telco company, so there is no understanding of what you do if you work in IT - too many silos - too many management layers - boys club, particularly at management level
