Good company overall, enjoyed my time working here.

Software architect

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Methodical, lots process in place and support for an efficient working environment. Liked the consistency across the company (for example computer/software use shared company wide, not different between each group/department/location/etc.). Challenging work.

Cons

Very office oriented expectation spend most time working in office - not big on working from home or teleworking for most all roles. I had concerns about work not being done by the best team or location but seeing high preferences for teams in Sweden/northern Europe over other global locations. Global company, with strong preferences not to do R&D outside Europe. Good if you are in Europe, not so good sometimes if elsewhere in the world.

Ericsson allows employees to move from Country to Country easier then any other company I have worked at before.

Business Outlook

Pros

Ericsson has lots of money and therefore invests more in the future. Mobility between countries is definitely a plus. Ericsson is involved in many core networking products.

Cons

Ericsson has a habit of cutting employees quickly especially if working for a company that they have acquired. The process is sometimes onerous.
