Pros

There seems to be a wealth of training material available but I am working too much to be able to take advantage of it. Ericsson places greater value upon education than real world experience so it is a good place for recent college graduates.

Cons

There is enormous pressure on managers to utilize the workforce 100%+. However, there is little respect for these hard working people in the field. On call is mandatory and when you are on call you DO get called - alot. The workforce management system sees to that. Work is delivered via your smartphone and you never know what you're going to get. Often tasks are beyond the ability of the technician as no training is offered and the system does not take individual skill sets into account. "A tech is a tech" is a term I hear quite often. We were recently "absorbed" by Ericsson from a large U.S. telecom carrier so my views may swing more negative than most.

Pros

Excellent benefits for families w/ and w/o kids. Excellent vendor relationships that make working for Ericsson a company that is valued by vendors.

Cons

Too many processes that may impede productivity. They do not understand the culture of Silicon Valley - they almost ignore it and treat it as abnormal.

Pros

Correct management. Confortable working-time. International traveling opportunities. There is a chance to gain more knowledge in every area. Several curses are available to learn more and deliver more.

Cons

There is no compensation of the extra efforts that is made in work. The signs of this also present in salaries.
