Replacing older employees with cheap offshore talent
Pros
Moderately good environment, opportunity to learn and grow is good, some intermediate training is available if you don't mind doing it all on your own time, open hotel style office is challenging at first, but then you get to like the uncluttered environment, you have a place to sit or stand, a 5' desktop that goes up and down to your liking, your Laptop, softphone, and decent WiFi, what more do you really need? Loss of the gym was from old site did cause some issues and loss of time.
Cons
Local Ericsson executive tended to take the disparaging word about staff from customers, over talking to staff and finding out what the real problems were and verifying that any statements made were indeed even true, valid or deserved. As existing staff were being laid off, more lower cost remote workers (paid in their own countries to avoid extra costs) were temporarily brought in to try to fulfil contracts. This practice needs to be reviewed by our government and policy makers.
