Pros

Ericsson can be very flexible, family oriented, with good benefits and understanding that personal time is required sometimes. Lots of training and development available especially technical engineering. Good teleworking opportunities.

Cons

Lots of politics. Ericsson tends to give senior jobs to Swedish staff, or staff who have worked in Sweden. Jobs offer go to people with internal contacts rather than ability.

Pros

Flexibility and Work-Life Balance, Helpful colleagues, there is not much politics, learning is encouraged and opportunities are readily available

Cons

Weak and uninspiring leadership, recent redundancies seem to have happened without a plan and has led to remaining employees being overworked, compensation is not great, management live in a bubble and seem to believe that low cost resource centres (India, China) have no competence issues despite contrary evidence, not much scope for vertical movement, escalation culture - need to escalate minor things to get any progress/ traction
