Pros

Good benefits. Work-life balance. Global reach with diversity.

Cons

Terrible work culture, laden with process and bureaucracy. Combined with good benefits and work-life balance, this produces a very bad mix of incompetent leaders being institutionalized resorting to internal politics to survive. Ericsson has killed pretty much all of its acquisitions with this kind of management, while driving its best and most productive engineers out of the company.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
