San Jose, CA

Former Employee – worked at Ericsson-Worldwide as a contractor for less than a year

ProsThe break room was created by a furniture designer so it looks appealing. The employees are more diverse. Some of the employees desk can move up and down via a push button. Overall, nice looking buildings and office furniture.

ConsEmployees office space is less per square foot standards but has better office furniture. The switch/router product was acquired from Redback, but their technology has not been updated recently. Also, this same product is difficult to configure.

Advice to Senior ManagementFor the switch/router that was acquired by Redback, management should have had a clear goal and plan which should have resulted in producing revenue within say a 5 year time line. Also, closing down many of your worldwide offices limited your companies ability to use those office as a sales/tech-support site.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
