Pros

Provides good benefits, ummmm.........that's it.

Cons

Upper management has no idea what anyone does. PMs are a mess, constantly ruining projects. Outsourced work is a POS, but no one cares. Training doesn't exist, online training is a joke. No one is open to new ideas because its different. All in all, no one cares about inefficiencies as long as they get paid.

Pros

If you do not want to think, Ericsson USA is the perfect place to be because it encourage people not to and the management do not understand the industry or the technology so they are not expecting you to anyway.

Cons

Horrible place where people of a certain clan is promoting their own people. Hindi is fast becoming the company language and blatantly ignoring people of other race. Another group are the ex Nortel or NSN. If you belong to neither of these group...rest assure you have no career in the company

Pros

A leader. Great tech and services. Hell-bent on crushing competition. Decent work environment.

Cons

North American executive leadership will not allow employees to work from home. The company line is that employees need to "be in the office" to share, work as a team, and feed off of each other. That would be all well and good, but does that make a bit of sense if none of your team members are even in the same geographic area?? Even when they are, they call in to meetings rather than attend in person. The environment went from a few employees in an open environment with large desks and assigned storage to smaller desks and nearly double the employees in an area. Even directors are sitting on aisles! Yearly culling of employees leads to poor morale. Everyone knows that unless they are moving up, then the day will come where they will be moved out, regardless of contribution. No loyalty to employees. Poor work-life balance. HR serves the company, rarely the employee. They are also untouchable.
