Pros

Ericsson is a company that can really improve your career, full of opportunities in every area and every place in the world.

Cons

As an employee that worked in different Ericsson sites, I can say Ericsson Bellevue - WA works as a separate company, not following ericsson's values. Work-life balance at this site is simply nonexistent. Managers treat you like you are doing something wrong if you are working from 8 to 5. And when we talk about managers, note that this place has a HUGE number of managers, almost one manager for each 2 employee and they still try to figure out why the company is facing a financial crisis. Managers treat employees like garbage, it is normal to hear around the office managers swearing bad words with employees or even laughing at failures. It is a very toxic place. Note: I only experienced it at Ericsson Bellevue - WA. The company it self is great! If you can chose, run from Bellevue!

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.
