Ericsson reviews

1. If you are a woman- RUN. They pay a lot of lip service about DEI and ERGs to cover up what’s really lurking beneath. 2. If you are not Swedish you will not be promoted 3. Long hours for less than industry average pay 4. Promotions are not based on skill or merit, rather who will kiss the ring and stroke egos 5. Rapidly declining business case for NextG. Already long technology cycles exasperated mean more layoffs and a struggling business. Eventually they should be bought by big tech for the value of their patents 6. Google their DOJ penalties and you will see what kind of company you are dealing with

Unfortunately, all of that changed with the recent leadership overhaul. The current management has turned what was once a thriving workplace into a toxic environment driven purely by cost-cutting and financial metrics. The shift in leadership focus has led to a decline in employee morale, causing even the smartest, most dedicated employees to develop imposter syndrome. The talented individuals who once thrived here are now questioning their worth due to the toxic atmosphere. The new focus is solely on short-term gains, with little regard for long-term innovation or employee retention. The Networks division, in particular, is suffering from a lack of technical direction, making it hard for the company to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving industry. HR practices have become hostile, with employees being treated poorly during exits. Accusations are made without substantiation, and decisions are driven more by cost-saving than by fairness or transparency.
