Pros

I was fortunate to learn a lot from my immediate team, who were talented, collaborative, and supportive. Unfortunately, this was a reflection of the people I worked with, not the company itself.

Cons

The culture at Cradlepoint was toxic and dishonest. I was impacted by a restructure and my role and the rest of the admins on my teams roles were eliminated claiming they would outsource. Not long after that, they started hiring again for the same types of positions, but only for candidates within a certain radius of the corporate office. It was clear their intention all along was to cut remote employees under the guise of “restructuring.” The way it was handled was shady, misleading, and showed a complete lack of loyalty to employees. To make matters worse, the VP of Enterprise Applications who delivered the layoff news was cold and completely unsympathetic. I understand it’s not an easy conversation to have, but a little empathy would have gone a long way. Their actions and tone said everything about how little they value people.

Pros

You can work on a lot of the latest technology in telecom

Cons

The new management in Ericsson requires you to be in their 'inner' circle before they will help or support you in your career. People are only there to protect their jobs. They are always ready to stab you in the back if they can make progress by it. The management is not supporting their top performers to grow and get opportunities in the business. They are just worried about the bottom line and not people.

TOXIC culture, questionable future

Pros

Miraculously many colleagues you are so kind and brilliant. They have been there so long they believe the toxic treatment from senior management is normal

Cons

1. If you are a woman- RUN. They pay a lot of lip service about DEI and ERGs to cover up what’s really lurking beneath. 2. If you are not Swedish you will not be promoted 3. Long hours for less than industry average pay 4. Promotions are not based on skill or merit, rather who will kiss the ring and stroke egos 5. Rapidly declining business case for NextG. Already long technology cycles exasperated mean more layoffs and a struggling business. Eventually they should be bought by big tech for the value of their patents 6. Google their DOJ penalties and you will see what kind of company you are dealing with
