      Declining force at Silicon Valley

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart and dedicated engineers as colleagues, good work-life balance, transparency in sharing technical know-how, very good benefits (for a non-Internet company).

      Cons

      Ericsson is no longer a wireless technology leader - the Asian vendors have caught up and in many instances overtaken E///. The next two years will be painful as 5G money won't start coming in until 2019. All major decisions are taken in Stockholm by Swedes, limited career prospects at a remote site. Compensation is below par for the Bay Area. Media division is next on the chopping block. Morale diminishing after every quarterly report.

      Poor advancement opportunities

      Analyst | planning
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great healthcare benefits, fun place to work, schedule flexibility, (with the right manager). Pay is competitive with market rates. Paid time off is one of the best in the area.

      Cons

      Very unfair advancement opportunities. If you do not have or have not established a personal relationship with a member of management or executive team, do not expect to be advanced. These opportunities are only granted to friends and family while management forces its employees to believe it is their sole responsibility to map out their career. However, it has been proven time and time again: An employees career path is well established prior to the employees presenting their career desires.
