Pros

Plenty of time off.

Cons

Always felt the overwhelming sense of doom. When I started my team was 20+ people. There were cuts after the first few months, and they kept coming regularly again and again. After a while, our learning clients gave up caring about learning because they were so worried for their job. The former CEO ran things into the ground by dreaming but never bringing it to realization. Thousands of people get laid off and he still gets a cushy top level job and doesn't suffer.

Pros

-Friendly team members -Nice office - Fun activities within the organization

Cons

I have worked at the Ericsson office in Mississauga for more than 4 years. There is too much politics that would interfere with day to day activities.

Pros

Still decent insurance but not as good as it used to be Salary Good products Great Severance packages

Cons

Benefits are constantly being dropped like stock purchase, fully paid insurance You feel like a number, it doesn't matter how good you are you could be laid off or worse: forced to move, forced to outsource position Outsourcing like crazy, moving entire products to the cheapest labor source to save money and then wondering why the products die Terrible decisions that never make sense It seems Ericsson now wants to be out of the software biz as they are selling off products, off shoring, heavy use of contractors no opportunity to move up, training is very hard to get/find Playing games during downsizing, forced resignations if you don't: move, if you don't stay to train your offshore replacements, take a position with a contractor, setting long or extended time windows final layoff date (hoping you will leave sooner without severance) watching your friends and coworkers constantly being let go dealing with new people who don't have the right skills or experience
