Awful IT systems, no development, no training, managers with no understanding of effective management - Anonymous employee Ericsson Employee Review

No learning or development, no budget for professional qualifications, no in-house training. Very poor middle to senior management within the subtitling arm - people who had been bought in when the BBC sold off their department were lacking in soft skills and motivation. Ericsson HR is outsourced - this led to the incorrect salary being quoted to my bank when applying for a mortgage. Ericsson were unable to provide my current employer with proof that I had worked there. I was placed on the wrong tax code since leaving due to Ericsson HR ineptitude, and have been overpaying tax for much of the past financial year. Horrendous company, I had not quite realised how poor the training, opportunities, facilities and services were until I had left and started in a company with none of these issues.
