- no vision for growth beyond 5G radios, which is will cost less than 4G/LTE - no bonuses, even when promised (negotiate a high salary, that's all there is) - 12 Ericsson people at customer meetings with 2 people from customer - discriminatory in their hiring practices with quotas for certain types of hires - benefits WERE good, costs going way up in 2018 for employees
