A place where time stands still

Business Outlook

Pros

A stable company and a known brand. They support internal growth and provide career opportunities, even chances to relocate abroad to other Ericsson locations. People in general are quite nice.

Cons

Incredibly slow-paced and uninspiring. Things take forever, processes are dragging on, so much bureaucracy. This can be understood for a company this size, but Ericsson takes it to another level. Projects take forever, and your work day can be quite dull. Old school atmosphere where new ideas don't flourish.

Business Outlook

Pros

You will be fast learning all related Telecommunication technologies.

Cons

Teamwork here is missing all over the place, They expect you solve very technical issues by our own, even if you are only 1 or 2 years experience with no background in telecommunications , for this team it doesn't matter. They will put you in very uncomfortable situation sometimes in front of the customer. This is not a place for people who likes work-life balance, you need to keep up with the expectations quickly.
