Scarce upward movement if not connected with upper management which is 80% Indian, it helps to be one and be connected

Business Outlook

Pros

Ericsson is solvent, the company has strong cash reserves and is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Cons

Extremely arrogant company, regularly lays people off and doesn't allow them to return (USA) if you quit. Compensation is on the low end, which ties to being worthy to just work at Ericsson. Lousy office environment, management leads by fear! "Do what we say or you'll be let go" attitude.

Business Outlook

Pros

Ericsson can be very flexible, family oriented, with good benefits and understanding that personal time is required sometimes. Lots of training and development available especially technical engineering. Good teleworking opportunities.

Cons

Lots of politics. Ericsson tends to give senior jobs to Swedish staff, or staff who have worked in Sweden. Jobs offer go to people with internal contacts rather than ability.

Great start 6 years ago, total failure actually

Mid management

Business Outlook

Pros

None, actually. The new Top management team is looking just for juniors able to work 20 hrs a day with minimum wage

Cons

Lots of senior professionals leaving due to bad atmosphere created by top management (expats treating Romanian engineers as "white Indians" -real quote! )
