Pros

A good place to start a telecom career and gain industry knowledge.

Cons

Rampant corruption at the top with zero leadership accountability—evident in multiple civil lawsuits, DOJ investigations, and convictions. Shareholder bailout seems to be the strategy. The leadership consists of pretenders, politicians, and referees rather than true leaders. Decisions are driven by job preservation rather than genuine leadership for business growth, customer satisfaction, and customer retention. Chronic overcommitment and under-delivery. Diversity is merely a checkbox; the top remains a white men's fraternity club. The company claims Swedish values and culture, but these only apply to departments actually based in Sweden.
