Pros

Ericsson is a great place to make lasting international connection network. They have a great benefits package and the work is interesting.

All decisions are finally made in Sweden. These can take some time. They seem to restructure every 2 years which puts a lot of strain on employees

Great global company!

Business Outlook

Pros

If you want to work for a true global company and have the ability to work in different countries on short or long-term assignments or project teams this is a true "global" company.

Cons

Because the company is so large, many times it is difficult to connect to the companies overall focus. It was sometimes difficult to move quickly and resources were limited. Great people but many burned out.
