Constant bad news and constant layoffs for the last 10 years. Little chance to grow. Self-promotion is a must. - Senior Software Engineer Ericsson Employee Review

Pros

It is a job that pays money. You can try to do different things in different roles and you can learn new things. People are polite and nice. Coworkers are excellent professionals.

Cons

- it used to have good work-life balance. - health plan is good on paper not in practice. - competition with Huawei paradoxically seems to drive permanent engineer's salaries down (?) - developers need to hone their skills but there is no training in place and no projects. - salary is not competitive and they won't try to match it, as you grow older you might be left out so watch out. - meetings. - food is not good. - too much focus on "gender", that has alienated merit-driven people (women too). - high pressure in projects with poor prospects. - employees are generally demoralized and looking for alternatives. - no career path on R&D, hard to switch within as there is no room upwards. - few very good developers left, now the learning curve for the rest of us is much steeper.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
