Pros

Its my first job, I was fascinated by the name of the company.... My thoughts have led me to a disaster. thing of good is not acceptable over here. My friends laugh at my misery. This is my last day at Ericsson, at last I am again living in the free world....I always think why I had ever joined ericsson when there were so many other opportunities. Let me tell you that I now have a job with a salary 100% more than that I was getting in Ericsson. My advice to all is No to Ericsson, Yes to any other company else than ericsson.............

Cons

The management is highly incompetent. Nothing is good over here. Work environment is rubbish. Promotions are like having two moons in the sky and if you manage to go to MARS the management would be willing to give you a promotion to pluto. Annual pay rise is less than 20% officially, actual is 3%. Achievements of any sort are discouraged. Performance awards are always for the Management (For keeping the Modern slaves tied up). An important point to note is that no one is willing to join yet people leave in dozens. Trainings are simply not available and if you still manage to get some training out of ericsson you would be bonded for one and a half year, i.e., you can't leave........

Pros

It is one of the big telecom equipment players and is best performing company in its sector, great global brand, very good compensation plans, opportunities to travel and improve competence.

Cons

Swedish company with global business, slow, smart and arrogant. Lots of politics no different to any other big company. Not the young company that it once was.
