Late-stage company based on North American leadership perspective

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of the best minds come to work at Ericsson and there are some truly wonderful people that cycle through. Those that stay are often the ones who find the right words that North American senior leadership likes to here. They like to hear they are great leaders, everything is great, and everything will be great.

Cons

Lots of creative, tech-minded, world changers joined the North American company by believing the marketing material. Then after a while they slowly realize it is the same as other companies: Sustainability is a green-washing term, others will take credit for your creativity and accomplishments, and those with constructive criticism will be managed out of the organization.

Remote Work | Long Days | Unrealistic Expectations

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Remote Work 100% is a huge plus, but comes with the downside of crossing personal boundaries when tight deadlines come up - Compensation is good pay, but again with long hours expected - Time Off is decent, and they have Wellness Days quarterly, but sometimes pay for that as well

Cons

- Unrealistic expectations on getting things done in 1 day (or less) without notice - New CEO (within EEWS) and executive leaders don't seem to care about having a good culture or treating employees like humans - Everything is top priority and leadership does a poor job of planning ahead - Corporate culture vs. Cradlepoint's previous "small company" culture is here to stay

Business Outlook

Pros

- Nice colleagues make for good culture - Benefits are decent - Work life balance is usually good (depends on manager and team)

Cons

- Extremely inequitable compensation, which is already very low compared to the industry - Fewer cases but extreme favoritism by middle management - Work-life balance varies significantly depending on managers/teams
