Pros

- Some great people here, lots of experience and knowledge - Wide and interesting portfolio provides a lot of options for career movement - Opportunities to travel internationally, short and long term - Benefits are top notch - Work / Life balance has been very fair to me

Cons

- Too much adherence to process that hinders team and program flexibility; it's a brave new world and we need to have the freedom to move fast - So much re-org, it never ends; if senior LT concentrated as much on enabling teams as they did on the structure of their LT's we might not be in the current situation - Saying one thing in public and doing another internally; innovation anyone? While you are happy to pick up awards for our innovations, how about giving the programs some funding rather than killing them or changing them so they no longer provide their innovative value - Giving senior roles to people with no track record; how about mixing things up, maybe reward people for achievements instead of their connections? - Board and LT asleep at the wheel for past couple of years - Uninspiring CEO appointment

Pros

You have access to benefits with little to no cost to the employee

Cons

You have to put up with the roller coaster that is the global telecommunications market, lay offs occur at least once a year.

Pros

Great company to work for (benefits, vacation, flexibility, nice offices. Lots of chances to move within the company

Cons

Constant reorganization is ruining all productivity and creating massive confusion. There is no job security, fear is constant, and the press in Sweden is dreadful
