Pros

Ericsson is a globally established and well known company. The pay is competitive and the benefits are better than any other company for whom I've worked. There are many smart, capable, quality people you'll be working with on a daily basis. Their technology is diversified enough to provide interesting challenges and opportunities.

Cons

Ericsson has the Swedish mindset throughout the company - extremely risk adverse and wanting absolute, unanimous consensus before any strategic decision is made. This results in moving much slower than competitors to exploit new opportunities. While the reluctance to let under-performers go creates much more job-security for everyone, it does lessen the feeling of accountability and urgency needed to progress a company.

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.
