Pros

If you try to build a CV this is a good start point . You may learn some things about the corporate world . Great collective , great communication within the teams , good communication with the team leaders .

Cons

Poorly paid , not much interest from management to retain their employees . If you expect training courses, this is not the place for you . Often all you learn is by yourself . Hard to get things done, sometimes nobody knows who is responsible for the job . Middle management is a joke , there is no communication at all .

Pros

Great environment for learning. Support for training and internal support learning new technologies is outstanding.

Cons

Very much a consensus driven decision making process. Often needed due to complex nature of solutions being developed and with each level of approval serving as the accountability needed for complex decision making since very few are experts in all areas.

Pros

I think the best part is to know the other expert in telecommunication fields, share knowledge among them. Off course, working for such big company can make our resume more "pretty". The colleagues there are quite open and willing to share knowledge and help each other. The company develop high tech telecoms devices and we can participate in this field.

Cons

Unfortunately, as a non German working in Ericsson Germany could be hard, since it is quite clear for the us that they only want to recruit German employees, and even they recruit non German, it must be female. In order to make the company more multi-cultural and more international they recruit foreign part time student. Full time employees are always German (98%).
