      Great place to work for !

      Pros

      Good work life balance. Great benefits package. Ability to move between departments and technologies. This is a company where one can build a career. Management provides a lot of scope for competence and leadership development. Ambition is appreciated, and nurtured. Employees are empowered. Above all, consistent cost control has provided more job security as hiring and layoffs are not in waves, but controlled very well. So, company remains sound financially. Upper TEchnical management has made many right calls in the tech arena.

      Cons

      Tendency to be too consensus driven at times. Creativity is restricted at times by 'the way things have been always done'.

      A good place for work-life balance before retirement; not for aggressive career advancement

      Pros

      Relatively stable company and an industry leader. It treats its employees well with decent pay and good benefits (good severence pay as well when they do RIFs). Its a great place to have work-life balance and is good as a stable job if you are going to retire in a few years. There is some flexibility in moving around laterally particularly if you are in the company's country or world HQs. Middle and upper management are approachable for ideas and feedback.

      Cons

      Its not considered a cutting edge technology company. Carrier advancement is extremely difficult unless you have the right connections within the company. Folks from Sweden are given preference all other things being equal. The company is run like a government with lot of bureaucracy and lack of flexibility and agility for change. Flexible work practices such as working from home are discouraged (even for roles that do not need constant onsite interaction). There are lot of layers of inefficiencies that makes one wonder if upper management is oblivious to it or is tolerating it for political reasons. Both middle and upper managers range from highly competent to completely incompetent (and managing upwards). If you are aggressive about career advancement and are willing to put in the extra effort, then this is not the right place for you. No personalized bonuses.

      A great place to work that offers rewards and growth for it's employees.

      Pros

      Ericsson offers it's employees growth opportunities and a diverse work environment. Ericsson is on the cutting edge for wireless communication and is the world wide leader in this field. It treats it's employees with respect and offers great training regiments. As a whole, I feel employees are recognized for their achievements and focus's on employees growth.

      Cons

      Being a very competitive company has it's advantages, meaning lots of business, but sometimes this business comes in waves, and some might feel overwhelmed with the amount of work which leads to some stressful situations.
