      Ericsson review from a software engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Ericsson is a big company, and as such you get some of the benefits of being anonymous. In Sweden, there are strong unions and good unemployment coverage. Overtime is well paid. The jobs are varied and if you are lucky you can work in some very interesting projects.

      Cons

      The management is delocalizing everything to low cost countries without a proper understanding of the consequences. There is also an ongoing obsession about making everyone do everything and anything.

      Good company but gets old after a while

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible hours depend upon the manager. Dome managers are very flexible in working hours, working from home from time to time. However, some other managers are not flexible at all.

      Cons

      Not much chance for downtime between projects. You get to accumulate alot of banked time with almost no chance of taking it. Promotions are very rare. Past the second level of management it is almost excusively Swedes. Decision are made by consensus (nobody dares putting it's foot down) and then the earlier decisions often get brought back into question over and over.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The most attracting things are international environment and multi-lingual working atmosphere, team work is the focus. You have the opportunity to get familiar with the bell-wether of the mobile telecommunication world. You have the opportunity to work with the people from around the global. You have certain package of welfare on the middle level of the pyramid. You have trainning opportunity per year. You have middle level competitive salary. You have chance to learn telecommunication technique. You have one team building activity per year. You have bonus according the to the performance of the company. You have the opportunity of salary increase per year.

      Cons

      working area is too focus, chance of internal job rotation is tiny. performance evaluation system is frigid. Relationship but not capability is the key.
