Ericsson US is fast dominated by people of a certain clan or alumni of former NSN or Nortel guys

Pros

If you do not want to think, Ericsson USA is the perfect place to be because it encourage people not to and the management do not understand the industry or the technology so they are not expecting you to anyway.

Cons

Horrible place where people of a certain clan is promoting their own people. Hindi is fast becoming the company language and blatantly ignoring people of other race. Another group are the ex Nortel or NSN. If you belong to neither of these group...rest assure you have no career in the company
