Pros

Some great technology, if you can get to it. Nice offices. Friendly, hard working, clever people remain in the UK. A highly progressive company who will help staff with specific needs and promotes diversity.

Cons

Work life balance is a joke. They never push back on customers. Career progression is impossible, unless you're a good manager. Even then they may reorganise your position away. Wages are stagnant. Competition from far east companies and among the remaining western companies means virtually everything is offshored. There is a danger of skills rot due to enterprise customers often being conservative in accepting new technologies, and the long shelf-life of certain products. Change: this doesn't contradit the previous comment, but there is always a lot of change. New solutions, but often based on "old" technology.

Pros

Good Co-Workers, Misery Loves Company

Cons

Working for Ericsson North America, you never feel 100% secure that regardless of how well you do your job that you won't get laid off in one of Angel's "refresh" cycles. Politics is everything, it is usually not how you do your job, but how you stroke your managers ego and who you know.
