Ericsson reviews

Ericsson ruined Cradlepoint. Every Cradlepoint leader (CEO, CFO, CPO, CMO) along with almost every SVP/VP in the company is now gone. Ericsson came in and placed their own Swedish team at the top and lost the hearts and minds of the employees. They are living off the fly-wheel from the previous teams. They have a terrible culture where the leader is self-centered and focused on her own career above all others.

I’ve never written a Glassdoor review before, but after what this company has done, I felt compelled. Laying off 200 employees right before the holidays is not only heartless but speaks volumes about the kind of company this has become. This used to be a proud American company until it was taken over by European leadership. Since the takeover, the company has been in complete disarray. Leadership is ineffective and clueless, constantly changing directions without any clear vision. Career growth opportunities have vanished, bonuses are nonexistent, and morale is at an all-time low. After Ericsson took over, managing IT equipment became a logistical nightmare. The processes became convoluted, and the leadership brought in had no understanding of the existing systems or the employees who kept them running. Even after laying off hundreds of people, there has been no communication about next steps, leaving those affected in limbo during the holiday season. It’s incredibly disheartening to see what this company has become under its new leadership. For anyone considering joining this sinking ship , don’t. You deserve better.
