Pros

Moderately good environment, opportunity to learn and grow is good, some intermediate training is available if you don't mind doing it all on your own time, open hotel style office is challenging at first, but then you get to like the uncluttered environment, you have a place to sit or stand, a 5' desktop that goes up and down to your liking, your Laptop, softphone, and decent WiFi, what more do you really need? Loss of the gym was from old site did cause some issues and loss of time.

Cons

Local Ericsson executive tended to take the disparaging word about staff from customers, over talking to staff and finding out what the real problems were and verifying that any statements made were indeed even true, valid or deserved. As existing staff were being laid off, more lower cost remote workers (paid in their own countries to avoid extra costs) were temporarily brought in to try to fulfil contracts. This practice needs to be reviewed by our government and policy makers.

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
