Pros
Excellent health benefits for US-based employees, since it is a European-based company. They even considered paying the Obama-Care "Cadillac" tax to keep the extremely good health benefits. Ericsson eventually opted to change/scale back some of the benefits to avoid the higher taxes, but the benefits are still rather good. Profitable company.
Cons
North America has semi-annual layoffs. There is no formalized training to perform your job. You are left to figure things out on your own, based on documentation. It is rare to be assigned to a project where other experienced employees can coach you.
