Ericsson reviews

Focus is too follow the revenue / profit as priority affecting growth In my opinion strategy is too short term (almost Q by Q) with frequent reorganisation and changes in strategy at divisional level (for example 2015 targets set in 2010 are very different to those set in 2011 and 2012)

North American executive leadership will not allow employees to work from home. The company line is that employees need to "be in the office" to share, work as a team, and feed off of each other. That would be all well and good, but does that make a bit of sense if none of your team members are even in the same geographic area?? Even when they are, they call in to meetings rather than attend in person. The environment went from a few employees in an open environment with large desks and assigned storage to smaller desks and nearly double the employees in an area. Even directors are sitting on aisles! Yearly culling of employees leads to poor morale. Everyone knows that unless they are moving up, then the day will come where they will be moved out, regardless of contribution. No loyalty to employees. Poor work-life balance. HR serves the company, rarely the employee. They are also untouchable.
