Pros

You have the opportunity to work with great professionals and surround yourself by lots of talented colleagues. Great multicultural and true global atmosphere that makes the day-to-day a very rewarding experience. Very customer-centric environment.

Cons

It is not easy to find cons while working for Ericsson. Probably any con has to do with the size of the company and its natural limitations to be agile and fast in executing its plans and strategy.
