Pros

Company very supportive of its employees, with respectable core values. Good products and people, good working environment. Reasonable salary packages.

Cons

Increased competition from the chinese telecommunications vendors is putting pressure on Ericsson's business, impacting local working conditions (flexibility required involving travelling, trend of outsourcing to low-cost countries).

Pros

Ericsson provides tremendous opportunities to be a part of the global advancement of the communication industry. There are many chances to travel globally and work on teams that are helping to drive the future of telecommunications. The company is highly respected, and management has an innate sense of carefully calculating the right moves to successfully propel the company forward. The ability to hitch their wagon to the right technology path for the future has been proven time and again when at crossroads in technology, Ericsson makes the best decisions. There is also a major focus on professional services and Ericsson is the leading services company in telecom. As an individual, expect to work hard and forge your own network in the company but also know that you will find people at Ericsson helpful, respectful, unassuming and hard working. e.

Cons

Very large matrixed organizations, and very much things get done by who is in your personal network, regardless of org charts. You need to be a self-starter and willing to build that network. The three major business units are not highly integrated and can run like separate businesses. One time when you will find it difficult to move things forward or get rapid response or input from headquarters in Stockholm is during summer holiday in Sweden when most people take a number of weeks off. The advent of mobile broadband though is helping to change that somewhat, as Ericsson employees also are connected now anytime, anyplace.
