Pros

Great benefits, good vacation time, and potentially good culture

Ericson is no stranger to the bureaucracy that is brought on by being a global company and they are terrible at navigating it or pushing back against anything that comes from the top.

If You have the internal drive, a good place for work-life balance

Senior specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ericsson lets You live a normal life, spend time with kids & family also - and if You are motivated and have the internal drive, You'll find challenging and inspiring tasks for Yourself in an international environment, and smart people to work with. Decisions are simply let to grow mature: that's a comfortable and conflict-avoiding way to grow consensus.

Cons

While working without extra pressure is good for those who have the internal drive, also gives the opportunity to those without the drive to avoid serious work, and it's sometimes annoying for the rest. Decisions are made slow, and that is sometimes frustrating.
