      Pros

      I worked with people from all over the world which was a wonderfully enriching experience. The people I worked with were overachievers who valued the importance of a job well done. Advancement in Ericsson was attainable with initiative and drive.

      Cons

      Work/life balance was not possible. A 40-hour workweek was for the lower performers. I believe that the offices in other countries might have had better balance, but in the US the expectation was to work long days and weekends.

      Pros

      Good local team, good local management.

      Cons

      Management inconsistent across company. Too much "good old boy" at the mid-level to top.

      It's a company where you can work and get paid, that's all!

      Pros

      - Still leading the telecommunication industry with many large telecom companies as its customer across the world. - Leading the 5G revolution. - Adapting to the change in the software and technology industry at large. - Many smart engineers to work with. - Lots of good perks and good work-life balance.

      Cons

      - Struggling to be agile in the fast-changing hardware and software industry. Dealing with the similar problems faced by big companies (although many companies have managed to change faster than Ericsson) like bureaucracy, politics, too many decision-makers, organization-wide policies (one-size-fits-all policies across geographies). - Archaic processes and tools being used across the organization making teams and engineers drag their feet to get projects done. - Perks not competent enough to hire good talent (especially in Bay Area).
