Pros

Work on the latest technology. People are nice but not the upper management.

Cons

I am in North America region which is the worst working atmosphere for all the regions. 1. There are rolling waves of layoffs. You can never feel relaxed at work and layoff rumors come every other month. Not at all a good place for career growth. 2. When talking about the layoff, layoffs were not performance based, some were salary-based. Others avoided layoffs through connections. 3. In North American region, start from VP to managers, 70% are Indians and they network exclusively. I feel like working in a local Indian company. The more you work in this company especially in North America region, the more disappointment you have. As I know lots of people want to leave but stuck with their immigration status.

Pros

Great opportunity to work globally. Lots of opportunities to work with the biggest operators in the world on interesting products. Great benefits program Great people to work with

Cons

Pay increments and promotions are slow. Yearly firing in March in Region North America doesn't make sense. Companies that have 10% year on year lay offs usually pay a lot more than Ericsson. Ericsson will find it hard to attract talent since the reputation as a company that lays off regularly is getting around. Ericsson is slow to react in today's environment. However the messages coming from the upper management seems to indicate they are doing something about it.
