Work/life-balance is possible

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Entrepreneurial spirit gets recognized and rewarded - you sometimes get the opportunity to drive your own ideas if you can convince your boss; good place that recognizes that there is life outside of work; if you work for a good boss you can go a long way; many oppportunities tow work international but (depending on job category) not always required

Cons

Highly political; personal growth and feedback is mostly dependent on you manager and your grandfather (managers manager) - if one of them sucks you can have a hard time; No strategy for talent management; no long-term planning for most employees; very technocratic and silo-oriented; only few people forcus on the best for the company - the not-invented-here spirit is to strong.

Pros

Work life balance. Good place to get experience with telecommunications. Lots of open communication, people are open to help, even if under pressure.

Cons

Your results and professionalism will probably not lead to how your career advances. Politics works way better.

Ericsson... the place to be

Account manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Is a true multi national company, sharing knowledge and experiences from all around the world. Working in Ericsson, number one Telecom Solutions vendor in the world gives me the chance to be in the forefront of the Telecom arena.

Cons

Being in a very small Market Unit in Latin America takes away most of the benefits you get when working directly with the headquartes office in Sweden. Communication takes longer time and decision making process are way too long.
