Pros

Innovative company; never stands still. I always was presented with new challenges. Friendly, but demanding atmosphere. Pay and benefits are good, and they honor their commitments. Trips to Sweden are fun.

Cons

Led by Swedish culture. Nice people, but things move slowly. Swedish employees take the whole summer off, while US employees keep working hard. Then when they need to downsize, Sweden is retained (they can't lay them off), and all the layoffs happen in the US. Ericsson does not seem to appreciate the hard-working Americans as much as if you are born in Sweden.

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.
