Pros

nice US HQ building in Plano

Cons

- no vision for growth beyond 5G radios, which is will cost less than 4G/LTE - no bonuses, even when promised (negotiate a high salary, that's all there is) - 12 Ericsson people at customer meetings with 2 people from customer - discriminatory in their hiring practices with quotas for certain types of hires - benefits WERE good, costs going way up in 2018 for employees

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.
