Ericsson - good for graduates and managers, rank & file tread carefully.

Engineer v

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good place to start your career, recent graduates can be involved in the latest technologies(LTE, 4G, GPON) and advance quickly. Dress is casual and working life reasonably flexible with hours and some balance towards personal business/needs. Benefits and compensation appear to be average.

Cons

Middle management is mainly business folk with sometimes little understanding of the work being performed by the technical people below and are using accounting software to manage a technical field - this produces many additional tasks to update statistics to monitor your work level, reducing the overall efficiency. The office environment is very cramped(70 sq ft per 2 people/desks) and can be loud due to calls on speaker.

Ericsson not bad, but can be better

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are among the best. Company pays for complete Medical premiums. 401K has Roth option in it, and the company match is the absolute best that I've seen- 7% with only 4% employee contribution required!

Cons

One needs to know people to advance. There is a lot of baggage within teams, and everyone knows someone, so in order to advance it takes some knowing in addition to doing.
