Pros

No structure and a total lack of organization gives you a lot of time to stroll the corridors and goof off on various procrastination projects.

Cons

Very tiresome general bend-over attitude from upper management, total lack of visions. One structural change is not complete until another one takes place, if you like having the floor removed from under your feet at regular intervalls, this is the place to be. Dysfunctional and bullying individuals not assigned any shores are free to stroll the premises and terrorize random people without reprimands. Weak management skills.

Pros

In the Telecommunication Industry, Ericsson is one of the big players. In the US, they have a good presence as a Wireless technology vendor.

Cons

Health Benefits: Ericcson “pay” 100% of your health insurance benefits, but in reality, the Insurance Coverage that is negotiated is so bad that the list of “qualified” treatment are very limited, the worse I ever had in my entire career. I end up paying more in health care cost. In the US, the culture of Innovation is horrible. They have the “Is not in my scope” mentality. The engineering and technical management culture in the US lacks energy. Highly effective, competent and smart managers are very rare. The official corporate policy is of total respect for people, professionalism, etc…but in the US, that is a big lie. Most of the managers do not act with respect and professionalism. They lie to the customers and treat people really bad. Ericcson has this 10% reduction in work force policy every year…which is used by unscrupulous managers as a political tool to fire people they do not like. I worked there for less than 1 year and could not wait to get out.
