Pros

Work life balance Good pay n reimbursements on phone/internet bills

Cons

I have witnessed Ericsson go down in terms of everything that once made it a top-notch company. Lot of politics; Management is directionless and bereft of values and morality; turns deaf ear and blind eye to employee woes. HR is the worst; incompetent and ignorant.
