Ericsson reviews

The customer units (aka sales teams) are some of the worst I have dealt with in 20+ years in the telecom industry. They do not care to follow any process which makes operations' job very difficult. The project management office leadership wants PM's to be strong, but Ericsson's own processes and the fact that the customer units are at the top of the decision tree force the PM into a conflicting and weaker position. Ericsson C-level management in the US are pushing PM's and operations into more of a sales-oriented mindset, though this conflicts with global processes and the customer units won't loosen their grip on the customer relationships.

Though technically fully supported, work from home not allowed. Open workplaces (moderate sizes, though). International workplace. One often has to cooperate with total strangers, whom one hardly understands. Division of responsibilities is not always clear. Management and development is mostly in "western" countries. Strong competition from "far eastern" countries. According to management, we are "cheap enough", though. Good for us.
