Poor culture - no ethics at middle management level

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company values are good. It is a good compromise between work life balance and money

Cons

Poor and unethical middle management twists company policies to harass employees who work, since most of the team openly declares that they are not capable of working.

Pros

When you are there they have decent benefits. (Or used to) Decent work life balance - at least in the groups I was in. Being South Asian is a big plus to working there. The new CEO seems to be turning things around, but E will never be the 800 lb gorilla again.

Cons

From the time I started in 2012 - it was a continual stream of downsizing in North America. Loss loss loss. Ericsson lost it's market leadership due to hubris and bad decisions. The morale was extremely low when I left. Stay a year or two then start looking for another job before they cut you. Don't get complacent.

Pros

If you are sweds and and friends of sweds You will be in the top! So time to change ! Here is more gender parity than equality, incompetent managers were put on driving the business in difficult days!

Cons

So many layers, so many VPs, so many directors. There is “Ericsson way of working” which is responsible for the poor performance. They rotate the same leaders every 2 years even you have failed in delivering commitments. Innovation and new ideas are not promoted at all!
