Advice to Senior Management

focus more on harnessing and utilizing employee strenghts instead of merely going by perception

Pros

very good at training and investing into employees. Good knowledge sharing and teamwork atmosphere within the firm, you can call up any colleague worldwide with your questions and will receive help

Cons

The company culture values teamwork and almost equal benefits versus individual performance reconginiton via bonuses or other performance based pay.

Advice to Senior Management

mind the generation gap that is growing within the company. Consider performance based pay to motivate the younger generation.

Pros

the working atmosphere is very good, project organized well, discussion and presentation regularly to share information between employees, free transportation

Cons

if working for a long time, kind of routine and not very interesting, very regular life, without many changes day to day.

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

Excellent Team, People and ways of working

Cons

Quite a lot of stress and work.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work

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

Good opportunities in Ericsson Global, though competition for place is steep but healthy. Work done is recognized, and compensation is good, if not great. Good to continue and flourish until you think that time has come to make changes.

Cons

As with any BIG MNC's, most things you do are planned hence your career growth will also follow a curve well within company limits.

Advice to Senior Management

Inetr-MU oppertunities should be created.

Pros

Ericsson's presence in more than 175 countries provides incredible opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. Worldwide presence also hedges against downturns in particular regions.

Cons

As a large organization, Ericsson doesn't move as quickly as smaller companies.

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 and smart professionals. The right environment to learn as an engineer

Cons

They should pay more. Salary structure isn't too great.
