Constant bad news and constant layoffs for the last 10 years. Little chance to grow. Self-promotion is a must. - Senior Software Engineer Ericsson Employee Review

Pros

It is a job that pays money. You can try to do different things in different roles and you can learn new things. People are polite and nice. Coworkers are excellent professionals.

Cons

- it used to have good work-life balance. - health plan is good on paper not in practice. - competition with Huawei paradoxically seems to drive permanent engineer's salaries down (?) - developers need to hone their skills but there is no training in place and no projects. - salary is not competitive and they won't try to match it, as you grow older you might be left out so watch out. - meetings. - food is not good. - too much focus on "gender", that has alienated merit-driven people (women too). - high pressure in projects with poor prospects. - employees are generally demoralized and looking for alternatives. - no career path on R&D, hard to switch within as there is no room upwards. - few very good developers left, now the learning curve for the rest of us is much steeper.

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.
