Ericsson - good people, bad order.

Senior software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company takes care about employees. Good salary and bonuses. Big room for innovation and personal contribution. Very friendly team. Occasional travels to different places over the world.

Cons

Unstable company, you have to be ready to be laid off. Management does not exactly know what is going on and where it is going. Too many teams are involved in the same project, in other words you are depending on performance of too many people (you even do not know them, it is a challenge to understand why something is not working any more, who is responsible for that and when it will be fixed)

One of the worst jobs I've ever had

Business operations manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Decent pay - Awesome benefits package

Cons

The good ole boys network (and good ole "girls") is in full effect here. Politics are rampant, nepotism is everywhere, and if you don't have an established network and a good manager, be prepared to be profiled/railroaded when you want to do the right thing. Layoffs are frequent. Unprofessional behavior is tolerated, and even seems to be rewarded.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are "fully paid" by Ericsson.

Cons

Management lays off the seasoned and talented employees so they can hire new college grads. I was told by a management source that this lowers the cost for that cost center and the manager gets a bonus as a result.
