Pros

Ericsson offers a professional international environment with many opportunities to work with experienced developers, product owners, DevOps teams and customer-facing technical teams. The work is technically interesting, and there are good chances to learn about cloud, Kubernetes, troubleshooting, support processes and large-scale telecom systems. Colleagues are usually helpful, and the company provides stability, flexibility and career development possibilities.

Cons

Because it is a large organization, processes can sometimes be slow and complex. There are many dependencies between teams, tools and stakeholders, which can make delivery and decision-making slower. Sometimes responsibilities are not fully clear, and a lot of follow-up is needed to move issues forward.
