Pros

almost none, regular benefits from global ericsson policies

Cons

undefined way of development process, worst project planning and management I've ever seen, can not finalize projects without heavy overtime. No respect to technical knowledge and expertise from managers. No promotion should be expected if you are not a good flatterer even if you save the world several times in a day.

Pros

Name recognition? lol. Seriously, this 140+ year old DUSTY company is a trap. They lured me in and poached me from a high paying startup up job on promises of an exciting AI product that never materialized. What were you thinking hiring people when your product was non existent and no commitment to it?

Cons

Where do I even start? For such a large company, their internal systems are a mess. I’ve been waiting two months for credit card reimbursements in the thousands —ridiculous! They rake in huge profits from their 5G radios, but try to appear 'innovative' with flashy demo videos showcasing emerging tech they do not produce or own, just puff. Unfortunately, I fell for it, only to be laid off along with my entire team after just five months. I cant believe I was this naive to fall for the big name. The demo they showed me of their AI product was pure fantasy compared to their actual product, which felt more like the Titanic theme played on a cheap recorder. What feels most reckless and straight up savage about these people is that their recruiters and hiring managers will straight up lie to you to get you to come over but when you get there you see how bad it is. Don't fall for it. One of the biggest mistakes of my life.
