Pros

If you want to work for a true global company and have the ability to work in different countries on short or long-term assignments or project teams this is a true "global" company.

Cons

Because the company is so large, many times it is difficult to connect to the companies overall focus. It was sometimes difficult to move quickly and resources were limited. Great people but many burned out.

Pros

Ericsson have a ok understanding for the the needs and requirments for doing your job and they often accept the time it takes to do a good job. They are good at reqognize people and you don't have to become a manager to make more money.

Cons

Ericsson could improve in leting you test more of your own ideas and implement more lean or six sigma ideas into the organization. They could also improve in accepting that old code needs to be rewritten and that it can't last for ever.

Pros

Great health benefits and great wireless company. Ericsson respects employees personal life and encourages a work/life balance. HR stands behind their employees and quick to react when needed.

Cons

Very process oriented and no way around it. Too many resources involved in a project at any time driving the operations cost very high. No accountability for bad actions. Ericsson does not have much wireline competence and the company strategy in North America is not focused on this. Promotions are hard to come by and typically you have to be in with the execs to know about openings and to get promoted. Internal cross charges between accounts hinders projects.
