Heartless Layoffs, Poor Leadership, and No Direction
Pros
One of the best parts of working here was my team. I was lucky to be surrounded by incredibly talented, hardworking, and supportive colleagues who made coming to work enjoyable. The collaboration within my team was always strong, and we consistently went above and beyond to deliver results. However, challenges outside the team made it difficult to thrive. Leadership lacked clear direction, and the changes brought by the new ownership made day-to-day operations more complicated. Career growth opportunities were limited, and recognition for hard work was often lacking. If you’re joining a team with great coworkers, you’ll likely have a positive experience. But be prepared to navigate organizational challenges and unclear leadership priorities.
Cons
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.
