Ericsson US is fast dominated by people of a certain clan or alumni of former NSN or Nortel guys

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you do not want to think, Ericsson USA is the perfect place to be because it encourage people not to and the management do not understand the industry or the technology so they are not expecting you to anyway.

Cons

Horrible place where people of a certain clan is promoting their own people. Hindi is fast becoming the company language and blatantly ignoring people of other race. Another group are the ex Nortel or NSN. If you belong to neither of these group...rest assure you have no career in the company

Business Outlook

Pros

The knowledge databases that are available. Was better than going to university as it was real life uses.

Cons

It has lost it's human view advantage. It was the factor from moving to other better paying companies. It spent and allowed other corporate cultures that it had purchase via companies and or hired too many from one company at one time. Hence allowing the propagation of the other company culture to pollute ericssons culture.

Business Outlook

Pros

These people don't care a bit about their employees, it's all about the bottom line, and because of this they don't really care about their customers either.

Cons

They flat out lie to their employees. They make promises and don't follow through. They don't respect a work/family balance. They double your workload without offering any over time and then lay you off when you can't hit the unrealistic numbers.
