Pros

Benefits are very good. Medical clinic located on campus along with pharmacy. Very nice facilities. Unfortunately Ericsson did not inform employees of day to day business or goals so I cannot really so much about the company.

Cons

While building the new "Sprint" network they asked assistance from 2 additional companies in order to complete work. The other 2 companies were ready to go and Ericsson could not get their portion or their equipment up and running. Employee bonus was based on the completion of milestones. Lack of training on Ericsson equipment as well as Ericsson’s vague understanding of the network is the cause of decrease in bonus payout. The employee's in question were once Sprint so they knew what they were doing yet Ericsson management constrictions delayed most processes and caused too many delays.

Pros

Government like job / benefits with excessive emphasis of following corporate processes and policies without taken into account the realities on ground.

Cons

No growth. Only people who say YES to every stricture emanating from top can survive and grow, others no matter how talented will rust in this company.
