Ericsson not the best place to work, unless you are in the "favored" locations.

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you do work at one fo the favored locations, you will get good benefits and salary. But design speed is slower at all locations due to the extra overhead large companies like Ericsson bring to the design "processes". This can be both a Pro and a Con, depending on what kind of work environment / challenge you like.

Cons

Targets to only be in the middle of the road for salaries compaired to the "local" salary ranges for a specific job. So not the best place to work for if you want a good wage, unless you work at the "favored" locations and in a high paying region (like San Jose). Oh and no Options!

Business Outlook

Pros

good senior management with good engineers, , invonation capability is good. Good life and work balance, more vocations than other company. If you provide good performance, you can get good feedbacks sometimes,.

Cons

sometimes feedbacks to good performance is too late. Working environment is not good enough. Process of R&D is not good enough for now, need to improve.

Business Outlook

Pros

You do not need to work if you don't want to. It is really hard to make yourself fired, you have to steal for that. Private projects can be done during worktime.

Cons

Everybody gets bonus, good work will not be rewarded. There is no relation between bonus and quality of work. Managers are dumb.
