      Pros

      Large European company with good benefits and socially responsible. Has lots of divisions and many financial pipelines. Company treats its employees well.

      Cons

      Large European company who is extremely bloated and has very burdensome processes. How they have lasted this long amazes me.

      Advice to Management

      Remove the layers of processes and concentrate on a bottom up revue of the organization.

      Pros

      Company offers competitive salary and good benefits

      Cons

      I felt there were many redundancies in my division, this is not only not productive but also hits the bottom line which in the mid and long term hurt morale and generate layoffs.

      Advice to Management

      Do not hire people if you don't need them. I had other opportunities coming and I chose Ericsson, decision I now regret.

      Pros

      Good benefits, competitive salary, career planning, stock purchase benefit, opportunities to work with the most important telecom companies inthe word.

      Cons

      Company is not on a good moment, lay offs going on. The management team changes every year making employees not to know them as well, this is a global problem

      Pros

      Good compensation and benefits. Generally good people in the work force.

      Cons

      The budget cutbacks taken by Ericsson means they are no longer investing or preparing their people to do their job correctly. The level of disorganization is unfortunate.

      Pros

      Ericsson offers good salary and great health benefits, although it is rumored the health benefits will change in 2018. Some positions have the ability to work remotely.

      Cons

      Constant re-orgs, and massive layoffs really make this an undesirable place to work. Very low employee morale. Definitely not the place to go if you are looking for long term employment.

      Advice to Management

      Senior leadership needs to stick with an action plan long enough to see it to fruition. Make real efforts to improve employee morale. Stop using layoffs as the primary way to reduce operating costs.
