Pros

Smart and dedicated engineers as colleagues, good work-life balance, transparency in sharing technical know-how, very good benefits (for a non-Internet company).

Cons

Ericsson is no longer a wireless technology leader - the Asian vendors have caught up and in many instances overtaken E///. The next two years will be painful as 5G money won't start coming in until 2019. All major decisions are taken in Stockholm by Swedes, limited career prospects at a remote site. Compensation is below par for the Bay Area. Media division is next on the chopping block. Morale diminishing after every quarterly report.

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.
