Pros

Ericsson is a technology leader in its field. There are many great business opportunities ahead. Structured approach with many good process initiatives. Possibility to grow in role if you gain trust. Excellent health package. Nice location and office environment.

Cons

Trust and openness are not always as good as proclaimed. Many people stay too long and become unemployable by other companies if they are ever laid off "You have been with Ericsson a long time.....". HR is disconnected from work force and only serves the purposes of senior management.

Pros

Entrepreneurial spirit gets recognized and rewarded - you sometimes get the opportunity to drive your own ideas if you can convince your boss; good place that recognizes that there is life outside of work; if you work for a good boss you can go a long way; many oppportunities tow work international but (depending on job category) not always required

Cons

Highly political; personal growth and feedback is mostly dependent on you manager and your grandfather (managers manager) - if one of them sucks you can have a hard time; No strategy for talent management; no long-term planning for most employees; very technocratic and silo-oriented; only few people forcus on the best for the company - the not-invented-here spirit is to strong.
