Good but not Great

Strategy manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible to work from any location, great benefits, nice cafeteria, clean workplace and few good people who care

Cons

Nepotism. There is a Ericsson factory culture and Ericsson corp culture. If you are hired directly into 5G factory you get treated differently vs being at Ericsson before factory was constructed. Nationality plays a role in nepotism. If you are Brazilian you get better opportunities within the factory. If you are Swedish, you get better opportunities anywhere you move around. Leaders from same country of origin tend to favor themselves and I have heard 1:1 in native language laughing and giggling.

Pros

Great people and interesting work, if you are in radio group.

Cons

Only Swedes get a promotion. Only people under 50 get a promotion. Even though the CEO repeatedly asked staff to speak-up, DONT. The top 3 leadership layers are Swedish, who resent the Santa Clara work force as "too expensive."

Pay and benefits are good

Cons

Too concerned with complying to the CRT/D&I nonsense. Very liberal company. Employees are just a number at the end of day.
