After years of mismanagement the company has lost all bearings

Master researcher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance is good. No pressure to deliver. An overall lazy pace with a lot of controls and checks. Large company with benefits.

Cons

Toxic environment. Many dead horse employees. Previous CEO has left with 4M$ and a legacy of corruption. No leadership. Arrogance at all levels. Incapacity to execute even on technological level within a company that claims to be an ICT leader. It is a sad place these days.

Layoff is a business strategy here

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice pay, educated people, good gym

Cons

There are so many rounds of layoffs that I lost count. The fears are permanent. Sooner or later, layoffs come to everyone, because business isn't good.

Good for life/work balance, but a lot of cons

Picture editor

Business Outlook

Pros

I initially worked for a company that was bought by Ericsson, most of us from creative rather then corporate backgrounds. A few of the perks were - modern offices - flexible work hours - working from home - good, relaxed atmosphere, surrounded with fun people from different backgrounds and countries, very international - paid overtime

Cons

For a communications company the internal communications are beyond bad, finding any information in a jungle of acronyms that nobody knows what they stand for is rather untransparent and difficult. - being from a creative/media background there isn't many options for moving up in the company - shockingly low salaries/no salary increases/no bonuses (in the UK at least) - high staff turnover - a lot of offshoring and redundancies - HR is slow and unorganised, hard to find information - poor IT infrastructure, you're not being provided the necessary tools to do your job properly and getting anything fixed is a lengthy process - the employees aren't shown enough respect or that they are valued by the company
