Pros

Ericsson has a big brand name worldwide.

Cons

They give you like 1% (of your base salary) in annual bonuses. No stock bonus. Base salaries are 10% lower than market average. Yearly appreciation in salary is almost NIL. They fire about more than 10% people annually. This company is not for you, especially if you are a new college grad and/or on OPT/visa.

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.
