      Pros

      Diversity, whether that's good or not, is debatable. International presences, can work in project at many places. This is good if you enjoy travelling.

      Cons

      Glass ceiling if you are not a swede/european. Pretty much no career advancement opportunity if you are non-european. You are stuck in technical area. Salary is not competitive.

      Ericsson review from a software engineer

      Pros

      Ericsson is a big company, and as such you get some of the benefits of being anonymous. In Sweden, there are strong unions and good unemployment coverage. Overtime is well paid. The jobs are varied and if you are lucky you can work in some very interesting projects.

      Cons

      The management is delocalizing everything to low cost countries without a proper understanding of the consequences. There is also an ongoing obsession about making everyone do everything and anything.

      Pros

      Flexible hours depend upon the manager. Dome managers are very flexible in working hours, working from home from time to time. However, some other managers are not flexible at all.

      Cons

      Not much chance for downtime between projects. You get to accumulate alot of banked time with almost no chance of taking it. Promotions are very rare. Past the second level of management it is almost excusively Swedes. Decision are made by consensus (nobody dares putting it's foot down) and then the earlier decisions often get brought back into question over and over.
