Pros

Really enjoyed working on the national network for the carrier. Would have stayed if I could have worked remotely every other week or even once a month. Felt really good about the job we did. We made things happen in very tough circumstances. Benefits were better than the average US company.

Cons

- Worked a position that became 100% travel and 100% nights. Not the original position I took. Management never lets up on their people. Gone for two weeks on the road. Home for 48 hours then back on the road again. 365 days a year. If you don't like that. Don't take a travel position with ERIC.. - New grad hire working there after 5 years, still making below 50k per year with the responsibility of working on a National Carrier's core network. That was pretty sad. Those new grads (now seasoned veterans) were SHARP! - Felt like a high tech indentured servant. - HR department doesn't have a clue, or care, of how hard and long these guys work..HR goes home every afternoon and doesn't have a clue that people are working days and nights (regularly) while on the road. Hey HR, do you notice that the Integration team is quitting?

Pros

Ericsson is the world's largest telecom services provider and the strength in telecom services has a strong correlation with the company's technology leadership, R&D achievements and long tradition of innovation.

Cons

Like most of the telecommunications industry, Ericsson suffered heavy losses after the telecommunications crash in the early 2000s.
