Bad Work/Life Balance

Pros

Ericsson is a company that can really improve your career, full of opportunities in every area and every place in the world.

Cons

As an employee that worked in different Ericsson sites, I can say Ericsson Bellevue - WA works as a separate company, not following ericsson's values. Work-life balance at this site is simply nonexistent. Managers treat you like you are doing something wrong if you are working from 8 to 5. And when we talk about managers, note that this place has a HUGE number of managers, almost one manager for each 2 employee and they still try to figure out why the company is facing a financial crisis. Managers treat employees like garbage, it is normal to hear around the office managers swearing bad words with employees or even laughing at failures. It is a very toxic place. Note: I only experienced it at Ericsson Bellevue - WA. The company it self is great! If you can chose, run from Bellevue!

Pros

My team was amazing. Loads to learn from my senior developer and other team members. Unfortunately, my entire team got laid off so thats that. Good time off policy.

Cons

Management lacks overall vision. Reorgs happen with very high frequency. Most of the management has no idea what the developers/engineers/ML guys actually do and its relevance or importance. Team managers hold grudges against you if they have had bad blood with your previous managers. (happened to me when I was trying to move to a different team)

Pros

Good benefits. Good talent

Cons

Poor management. Too much politics . Lack of respect for their employees and their contributions to the company. All that matters is the bottom line. The change in this company is not for the better as there are continual layoffs and no one is immune.
