Pros

Ericsson has a culture of bringing in good people. I haven't sensed anyone toxic, everyone seemed good to me as far as I can tell. Work/life balance really depends on your role I guess. Overall I felt I had good enough balance, just need to keep the pace, and plan smart. There may be days you need to work extra, but overall it's manageable. Pay is good, but you won't be spoiled here like fang companies.

Cons

Too many pointless meetings. Employee stock purchase isn't so great, I think they only cover currency conversion fees or something. You might meet a few people you may wonder how they even got the job, but this is rare. Ericsson is laying off lately, I'm not sure how stable it is for work in the near future.
