Pros

Nothing from tech side or compensation. A little benifits.

Cons

Everything, especially management, sucks. It is not a software company and won't be one in the next few decades.

Pros

They pay you at least

Cons

If your in the North Region tower field, I cannot stress the BS. Unfair treatment, racist management, lack of communication is very high. Since March I have been using my personal vehicle to get to sites. The sites a 3 hrs out of market. I have climbed 2 towers a day and still made a 3 hr trip to return home. NO HOTEL was offered!! Down in TX they scream SAFETY but in reality, the management just wants faster completions. I have been hit with 2 “reasonable suspicion” drug tests, in which I passed both. Honestly Ericsson is good for the money.

Pros

Reasonable work-life balance. Confortable environment.

Cons

Poor or no recognition for excellent work. Very low salaries, cost of living in Ireland is very high and the salaries doesn't keep up. All the products have very complex implementation, commonly over-engineered. Poor reuse of industry standard technologies, it has a tendency of creating things from scratch involving a lot o people with no experience. Difficult to deal with many veteran staff, they have inflated egos and very frequently bad arguments, poor social skills, terrible leadership abilities. This includes senior engineers, master engineers and managers. Excess of bureaucracy for developing software. Agile is a facade that everyone pretends that is working fine.
