Ericsson-Worldwide Reviews in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX Area

Pros

Great healthcare coverage. competitive salaries.

Cons

very Hierarchical, when it comes to access to data

Pros

You are working with cutting edge technology, good people, good benefits, good exposure and many opportunities if you want to work internationally.

Cons

Salary a bit on the low side (for me anyway) when compared to previous position. There are layoffs every year (at least since I have been here since '09) as they remove the bottom 10% every year. I think this hurts morale.

Advice to Senior Management

Enough with the 10% reductions every year...get the organization sized correctly. Yes you can get rid of dead wood but keep who you want to keep and reward them with decent salaries and bonuses. The morale would be much higher if you did this.

Pros

Benefits package is outstanding, bonus structure is fair.
Culture is diverse and there are a lot of brilliant people working side by side.
It is impossible not to learn something new each and every day.

Cons

No executive leadership program in place.

Advice to Senior Management

Develop an executive leadership program for high potential managers.

Pros

Great benefit system. Good office. Lots of great projects.

Cons

Overloaded works. Poor management. Very demotivated at time when the managers ignore your hard works and great achievements.

Advice to Senior Management

Talents are the key for your success. Please be more respect to your employees.

Pros

great place to learn
open environment
mutual respect
best medical and dental

Cons

fear of being laid off every year no matter how you perform or the company
if you leave company you cant join back it is an HR policy

Advice to Senior Management

Just think of the families of the people who worked here for their lives and they get laid off rather retirement is not a good practice. ERICSSON is the best company to work for. But just blindly following the policy of other companies will hurt in future may be not business wise. I love Ericsson, what an employee need is motivation; if lacking performance, dont just fire them all they need is motivation.
Why Ericsson has become so cold blooded is out of my understanding.
Same way if some one goes out cuase he/she was frustrated and now after realisation wanted to come back give them a chance...allow them to fight in competition...this guy will work extra hard now because he has reaslised the value of Ericsson......

Pros

Lots of hardworking, talented, and dedicated employees make it fun to work.

Cons

Disappointingly low pay and doesn't really understand how to drive great technology innovation

Pros

Good Growth and great Innovation

Low salary compared to other companies

Advice to Senior Management

The management is really great. They do a really good job in making sure that the employees are satisfied. Very good management.

Pros

The leader in industry. Very good colleagues and collaborative. Very good benefits package, infact the best benefits seen so far.

Cons

Poor middle management. Least of industry salaries, varies very much for the same title. "Loyalty" is followed not in spirit.

Penny wise pound foolish. Think about the business being lost and employee motivation. Company motto says "people are the asset", but don't care when people leave.

Mismanagement is at it's peak in EUS

Advice to Senior Management

Improve competence of lower management
