Business Outlook

Pros

Smart and dedicated engineers as colleagues, good work-life balance, transparency in sharing technical know-how, very good benefits (for a non-Internet company).

Cons

Ericsson is no longer a wireless technology leader - the Asian vendors have caught up and in many instances overtaken E///. The next two years will be painful as 5G money won't start coming in until 2019. All major decisions are taken in Stockholm by Swedes, limited career prospects at a remote site. Compensation is below par for the Bay Area. Media division is next on the chopping block. Morale diminishing after every quarterly report.

Business Outlook

Pros

Not Many at the moment. The work life balance is reasonable and the company has made excellent investments in processes, tools etc.

Cons

Business is nose diving and the strategy is still the same with different sugar coating. With the decline of business the work place is becoming full of politics. Management has very little clue about what is going on and how to fix it.
