Pros

I was working with great team, the media team. Direct managers were the best, as a team that was acquired from Microsoft, the managers has the Microsoft mentality, employee first style, open for feedback, etc...

Cons

The company as all, Ericsson, still living 20 years behind, that includes the new CEO as well. Too old people, traditional policies, traditional style management. They are firing lots of people at the moment, and the rest are leaving by themselves, not a safe place to work at the moment. They lie about stock matching benefit, where after i left all my matched stocks were removed, and i have lost money because of this. Employees don't have equal benefits.

Pros

- Great benefits - International company with positions and opportunities around the world - In general, nice people and culture

Cons

- Difficult to change things - too political and hierarchical - It doesn't matter if you work hard and want to improve things/projects/ways of working. Salary raise and recognition will be practically the same as if you don't do that.
