Worst Place to work

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ericsson Brand Name . good technology development

Cons

In INDIA , Karnataka is the worst place to work in Operation team ( Field Operations) Worst people are working as a Managers. Only Politics . FM lead is looking for a boot licker as his subordinates. As he has some of the boot licker he is using them as a spy to know the activities and conversation about him from non boot licker. He often shows his loyalty in meeting . Making politics between the team is his main job. No friendly aproach among the team. Politics Politics people are as a managers in FM. Permanent enimy is Planing team. No work life balance. No career growth since the manager and some of the people are in the same position long time. So no future growth. Only boot licker will get good increment.

Pros

Flexible working times, relaxed environment, the possibility to see some of the most recent advances in telecommunications and networking plus many research activities are some of the advantages of Ericsson.

Cons

The salaries are no more competitive and since the recent global recession, prospects are not so good for this branch. This resulted in many position losses, lower budgets, conservative strategy and less research activities.
