Pros

Everyone around me has broad interest and knowledge in the telecom industry. There are plenty of people to ask questions to.

Cons

Everyone around me is from Nortel and they are very resistant to change. They hate doing anything different than what "they have always done" and most of the time, they don't even know WHY they are doing things a certain way.

Cons

No challenging work - just the same old monotonous work. Very few opportunities to rise in management Only lateral moves are consider "opportunities" No pay raises as Ericsson takes on low value contracts in the USA

Leader in its field. Complex and international it gives many opportunities for professional growth. Good opportunities if you have the drive and the stamina not to get bogged down in internal politics

Challenged by new competition from China Culture changing for the worse, with less respect for employees
