Pros

Good opportunity to learn new staff, growing your knowledge in new technology.

Cons

Not much in carrier path. Very complex processes and procedures to achieve simple goals. Low value of employees as a company assets. Money is the first , people are second. For two- three managers working one engineer. Using cheap R&D outsource causing loose competition with rival companies.

Pros

Strong in radio hardware and network deployment. Impressive heritage. Good reputation.

Cons

Weak in virtually every other area. Software and associated services and delivery organizations perform poorly. Sales team is singularly focused on hardware (radio and core network) deals. The Swedish culture of consensus permeates most business operations, slowing things down unnecessarily. Lack of commitment and R&D funding towards smaller revenue areas limits their ability to execute and stay competitive.
