A contracting Company with virtually zero employeee satisfaction and morale

Systems integration engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

OK Health Benefits, but poor Salary.

Cons

I worked in the NA headquarters, PLano Texas, depressing from the first day. I regretted joining this company a week into it. There is no guidance whatsoever, a mentor is assigned but most of them are preoccupied with their own work and have little interest in new employees. Asked to go through some documents and begin working. For a masters in Electrical Engineering from a top tier university, I took up the job as a systems integration engineer out of necessity. I quit the company 6 months in and am extremely happy working for a different company (I wont name the company but it is in the Forbes 25). I plead everyone looking for a job in Ericsson to avoid it like the plague.
