Pros

Ericsson is a great place for starting up in a new area, Knowledge sharing is well supported through in-house tools. Ericsson also has a very large footprint across the Globe for those interested in travel and new experiences. Ericsson currently leads with respect in market share in many areas so there are many opportunities for those who are able and willing to work and learn. Building contacts across the Globe is easy. Ericsson has a policy that allows transfers or hiring between its many units across the Globe. There are no restrictions. Swedish management culture mostly respects cultural differences across the many offices.

Cons

Largely staffed by incompetent management in many places. FAT, Lethargic and Slow are the words. No real systems integration capabilities.

Pros

If you try to build a CV this is a good start point . You may learn some things about the corporate world . Great collective , great communication within the teams , good communication with the team leaders .

Cons

Poorly paid , not much interest from management to retain their employees . If you expect training courses, this is not the place for you . Often all you learn is by yourself . Hard to get things done, sometimes nobody knows who is responsible for the job . Middle management is a joke , there is no communication at all .

Pros

Great environment for learning. Support for training and internal support learning new technologies is outstanding.

Cons

Very much a consensus driven decision making process. Often needed due to complex nature of solutions being developed and with each level of approval serving as the accountability needed for complex decision making since very few are experts in all areas.
