Sony Ericsson Mobile-Global – “Sony Ericsson review”

Pros

You work in international teams and have opportunity to travel. Since it's a large company there are a lot of training opportunity. In Sweden management is very open to parental leave, also for fathers.

Cons

The strategy communication from management is weak as is comittment for the overall company goals for the separate units. Management is young and often inexperienced, there are many specialist managers rather than people managers.

Advice to Senior Management

The more you communicate goals and decisions the more committed and engaged people in the organisation. The silence from management tend to worry and delay decisions that would have moved teams foward.
