Ericsson reviews

Company is in a tail spin. No time to turn around before the next re-org. Reputation vs. reality of company. Constant risk of redundancy often in the middle of engagements, very poor settlement terms, short notice periods, last in first out model. Complex inefficient organisation the "Ericsson" way. No bonus negates competitive salary. Like contracting but with greater uncertainty. No reward or incentive for contributing to company performance.

- it used to have good work-life balance. - health plan is good on paper not in practice. - competition with Huawei paradoxically seems to drive permanent engineer's salaries down (?) - developers need to hone their skills but there is no training in place and no projects. - salary is not competitive and they won't try to match it, as you grow older you might be left out so watch out. - meetings. - food is not good. - too much focus on "gender", that has alienated merit-driven people (women too). - high pressure in projects with poor prospects. - employees are generally demoralized and looking for alternatives. - no career path on R&D, hard to switch within as there is no room upwards. - few very good developers left, now the learning curve for the rest of us is much steeper.
