Decent benefits but inflexible work culture

Software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, remote work, and a good work-life balance (at least in my team).

Cons

I worked for Ericsson Ottawa for 4 years. I started here with high hopes and expectations, but was ultimately let down time and time again by bad management, and sad to say it, a sexist and mysogynistic environment. I was hired as a software developer, but hardly got to do any development all. Instead I ended up in a role which I had no interest in and my requests to be given different work didn’t lead anywhere. All in all, I was happy to get out.

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.
