Pros

A global company where you have colleagues and can make friends across the globe. There's some very smart and talented people that work there that you can learn from. Benefits are reduced compared to the predecessor company, Ericsson, but still reasonable although less attractive than other tech companies.

Cons

The executives do not understand how to run a company and seems to lack experience, competence, and/or caring. While management sits in their ivory tower, they set unrealistic expectations for how much work a single person can do. Considering my previous company was known for their lack of work/life balance and I'm used to this expectation, this company is in the extreme! They will not provide you the tools and resources to do the job in a responsible way across so many countries and expect systems to run themselves without human intervention. The end result is extremely overworked and exhausted group, cutting corners to manage the work and still feeling like they are failing in their job, then spending extra time to clean up mistakes. The expectation is that the work is managed according to a Headcount number, and that number cannot increase no matter what the job actually requires. Once you are killing yourself to manage the workload, it's likely that they would not spend the money to hire help for you because it is "getting done", so you will be forced to take sick leave before suffering a mental breakdown or just quit.

Pros

MK has excellent products. The management team is strong and the do care about their employees. Many have been with MK, or one if it's acquisitions for many years.

Cons

Was rolled out from Ericsson in the worst way possible, with the worst possible LT leading the way. Tried to set up as a large scale company, instead of the start-up we were. Too many costly mistakes were made and have been expensive to overcome and turn a profit.
