Ericsson great corporation but not so friendly to Silicon Valley ways of working

Senior manufacturer engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great medical benifits and ability to work globally inside the company

Cons

Does not use Silcon Valley work tools such as Agile / Oracle. You must use propriatary Ericssson tools controlled in Sweden. Tools are very slow in USA but your still expected to produce at Silicon Valley pace. Ericsson management can be very arrogant there way is the only way and other opinions are looked down on.
