Pros

nice US HQ building in Plano

Cons

- no vision for growth beyond 5G radios, which is will cost less than 4G/LTE - no bonuses, even when promised (negotiate a high salary, that's all there is) - 12 Ericsson people at customer meetings with 2 people from customer - discriminatory in their hiring practices with quotas for certain types of hires - benefits WERE good, costs going way up in 2018 for employees

Business Outlook

Pros

The best thing the company has to offer to employees is great health insurance benefits, this is what keeps people working there.

Cons

The company has failed to secure new contracts, so the culture is you never know from one day to the next if you will have a job! Management is very uncaring of their employees and will layoff fulltime employees to hire contractors to come in and take their jobs to save money. Ericsson also has a policy of 80/20 which means 80% of the work has to be done offshore and they move to push everything the can to India so this displaces American workers. They require employees to log hours they do not work and if you do not do this you are placed on a list to be laid off.
