Pros

Great health benefits and great wireless company. Ericsson respects employees personal life and encourages a work/life balance. HR stands behind their employees and quick to react when needed.

Cons

Very process oriented and no way around it. Too many resources involved in a project at any time driving the operations cost very high. No accountability for bad actions. Ericsson does not have much wireline competence and the company strategy in North America is not focused on this. Promotions are hard to come by and typically you have to be in with the execs to know about openings and to get promoted. Internal cross charges between accounts hinders projects.

Pros

Diversity, whether that's good or not, is debatable. International presences, can work in project at many places. This is good if you enjoy travelling.

Cons

Glass ceiling if you are not a swede/european. Pretty much no career advancement opportunity if you are non-european. You are stuck in technical area. Salary is not competitive.
