Pros

Good People and fast paced, multi-national evironoment, good skiils and technical opportunities. There are plenty of areas within Telecoms, pasts experiences and knowledge/insight are utilised. Good teamwork and network of interlinked business units.

Cons

Ericsson has own work methodology which can be slow, International assignments and connections getting reduced. Money and benefits reach a certain level and cannot increase, management style is getting too Anglo-Saxon and American. Sometimes you seem to be working on the same thing forever.

Business Outlook

Pros

Diversity, whether that's good or not, is debatable. International presences, can work in project at many places. This is good if you enjoy travelling.

Cons

Glass ceiling if you are not a swede/european. Pretty much no career advancement opportunity if you are non-european. You are stuck in technical area. Salary is not competitive.
