Resistant to Change

Pros

Everyone around me has broad interest and knowledge in the telecom industry. There are plenty of people to ask questions to.

Cons

Everyone around me is from Nortel and they are very resistant to change. They hate doing anything different than what "they have always done" and most of the time, they don't even know WHY they are doing things a certain way.

Pros

Easy 9 to 5 job Team work good opportunities for project management roles

Cons

No challenging work - just the same old monotonous work. Very few opportunities to rise in management Only lateral moves are consider "opportunities" No pay raises as Ericsson takes on low value contracts in the USA

Pros

I believe a prospective candidate should consider: 1.) Large company perks in the compensation package, 2.) Establishing a presence in Silicon Valley as of 2009. 3.) Many talented people working there presently by acquisition.

Cons

I believe a prospective candidate should evaluated for themselves these impressions: 1.) Preference in hiring candidates with immigration issues H2 and Green card (indentured servants) 2,) Swedish surnames and backgrounds appear to really crowds management ranks more than competitors 3,) Functional stratification between these general groups, including locked doors.
