Pros

The labs are pretty cool to work at. Some of the site managers are really nice. There are some hackathons which motivate people to work outside their space.

Cons

Team environment wasn't that great. People don't have many aspirations and they just stick to their jobs and don't let creativity come in. There is also a great fear of losing jobs.

Business Outlook

Pros

Once upon a time this company cared, not any more.

Cons

After 29 years with Ericsson, I was let go without any prior warning or even given a chance to find something else in the company. The company had no regard for my near 30 year tenure. This company is going down hill at light speed, upper management is currenty scurring to protect themselves and friends, leaving employees to hit the unemployment lines. There is no loyalty anywhere, the new CEO was brought aboard to cut cut cut until the company can be sold - this is evident - I don't believe Ericsson will exist in 5 years.
