Ericsson-Worldwide – “Despite overworked and short-handed, Ericsson continues to lead the telecom industry”

Pros

Relatively stable tech work. Ericsson has become the biggest telecom company in the world. There are opportunities to travel domestically and abroad. This company continues to develop and improve the best communication technology in the industry.

Cons

There is a lot of stress from work load due to downsizing and constantly changing processes. Competence training is available but little time to take advantage of it. There are advancement opportunities but cliches in mid-management leave little real opportunities. Jobs are usually filled by manager's friends before job is posted.

Advice to Senior Management

Invest in the staff now and it will pay big dividends when the economy improves and the workforce has more leverage.
