Ericsson is not an employee friendly work place.

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Can find any Pro working conditions for Ericsson.

Cons

Management is forced to lay off around 10% of the experienced work force every 6 months so they can hire new employees at a much low pay scale.

Swedish Culture rules

Business Outlook

Pros

Generally fair, open-minded management. Global company with opportunity learn and grow. Dominant telecom player. Moving into datacom space. Honest.

Cons

You better be Swedish if you want significant opportunities. Ericsson, like most foreign based companies, don't understand Silicon Valley and Silicon Valley culture. So, if you want to work for Ericsson in the USA expect to conform to irrelevant policies, procedures, ideologies, etc...

Very limited opportunity for career building.

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good for graduates to build a few years experience, but move on after that. Flexi-time Benefits - Doctor, Health insurance

Cons

- Very little opportunity for career expansion. - Using outdated versions of technologies. Very slow to upgrade to newer versions. - Usage of more modern technologies isn't too popular here either. - Management hampering software development, many decisions are made without developers consideration. They change decisions constantly also, so you will most likely have to scrap what you did and start again. - Ericsson has took their own approach on "agile", which contradicts many of the standard agile practices established today. - Very poor salary - Very little acknowledgement or recognition of hard work.
