Good company but gets old after a while

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours depend upon the manager. Dome managers are very flexible in working hours, working from home from time to time. However, some other managers are not flexible at all.

Cons

Not much chance for downtime between projects. You get to accumulate alot of banked time with almost no chance of taking it. Promotions are very rare. Past the second level of management it is almost excusively Swedes. Decision are made by consensus (nobody dares putting it's foot down) and then the earlier decisions often get brought back into question over and over.

Business Outlook

Pros

Ericsson is a technology leader in its field. There are many great business opportunities ahead. Structured approach with many good process initiatives. Possibility to grow in role if you gain trust. Excellent health package. Nice location and office environment.

Cons

Trust and openness are not always as good as proclaimed. Many people stay too long and become unemployable by other companies if they are ever laid off "You have been with Ericsson a long time.....". HR is disconnected from work force and only serves the purposes of senior management.
