Pros

The benefits beat those offered at any other company in the DFW area. The European mentality toward health care ensures that you and your family receive care at an out of pocket cost that is less than or equal to any other company in the area. The campus in Plano is top notch and the building is located in a good part of town. There are clear paths to promotion if you know the right people and make some of the right decisions. Working for an international company such as Ericsson affords the possibility for long term assignments in several locales around the globe. Compensation at Ericsson is generally on par, or slightly higher than at other competing organizations.

Cons

Not a slight against the company, but the telecommunications industry is very volatile. You need to be in the top 3% - 5% of employees to ensure job security. When the business is good, all are taken care of. When business slows, it is time to start watching the job boards.

Pros

Its my first job, I was fascinated by the name of the company.... My thoughts have led me to a disaster. thing of good is not acceptable over here. My friends laugh at my misery. This is my last day at Ericsson, at last I am again living in the free world....I always think why I had ever joined ericsson when there were so many other opportunities. Let me tell you that I now have a job with a salary 100% more than that I was getting in Ericsson. My advice to all is No to Ericsson, Yes to any other company else than ericsson.............

Cons

The management is highly incompetent. Nothing is good over here. Work environment is rubbish. Promotions are like having two moons in the sky and if you manage to go to MARS the management would be willing to give you a promotion to pluto. Annual pay rise is less than 20% officially, actual is 3%. Achievements of any sort are discouraged. Performance awards are always for the Management (For keeping the Modern slaves tied up). An important point to note is that no one is willing to join yet people leave in dozens. Trainings are simply not available and if you still manage to get some training out of ericsson you would be bonded for one and a half year, i.e., you can't leave........
