Pros

Great benefits. Absolutely the best around. no cost to employees. A lot of personal time off.

Cons

No career growth here. Direction of the company is unclear too. Impossible to make an internal job transfer. You'd have to know the hiring manager.

Pros

nothing Pros as such, join this only if u knows how to butter ur manager's asses. Dont ever join this as a fresher, its a service based company, worse than WIPRO and TCS. HR is a big joke they wont stand by u in times. There are dept like Operations, CSI-ADM, ITTE, GNOC, Network ENgineering, BNET R&D Frankly speaking all these dept are nonsense with exceptions of BNET which most probably hires on contract. rest all depts are worst, Bes thing herr is u can apply for PhD in Copy+Paste, After 3-4 yrs u will realise that u havent learnt anything significant and will get struck here.. be cautious on that. GNOC is like very bad place, with SLA ranging from 5-10 mins, u wont get time to go to toilet, and lesser time for doing things in between., Join a call center in bangalore rather joining this company

Cons

All the above mentioned in Pros, Dont ever go by the name of Ericsson, the original Ericsson is no way related to this, this i a purely Service based company, Managers are all ill qualified, they are managers just by way of experience for more than 10-15 yrs
