It's ok, until they need to make quarterly numbers.

Pros

Co-workers were great. Pay was decent. Benefits were inlne with industry standard.

Cons

Ericsson (specifically their US business units) lays people off to get a quarterly boost. Every quarter. They specifically target folks that are either out on parental leave or vacation for lay offs. After all, if your not there for a week or 2, you must not be important to the company. Then once they realize they need the role, they hire someone in India for pennies, and work them 70 hours a week.

Pros

competitive salary, good work life balance, good exposure to global, bonuses, good recognition to employee.

Cons

in some cases no balance to work, all regarding administration to our well being (new childborn, newly married, dependant adding) is self service now. compliance quite strict that sometimes it hinder its own business.

Lack of common sense

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, no rush or crunch

Cons

Lack of common sense, like documenting how the code works or creating a good onboarding material or creating a usable test environment or not to push failing tests onto master. For the past months we made countless assumptions on how other microservices work, because there were no documentation, knowledge only travels by word of mouth. And we have to work from the office 3 days/week.
