Ericsson reviews

Every year they layoff 10%, sometime if they don't make good profit they layoff two times a year, there is lot of politics. The Management does not care about the employees well being, they want to make huge profits. I saw lot of new grads hired and getting layed off after one year. This is not a company where you can build your career with. Just get some experience and leave.

- Unable to retain smartest talent and strongest leaders because salaries are below market and the work environment is generally toxic from the senior-most levels down - Entire company suffers from groupthink and secretiveness—no one shares information - Ericsson’s back office functions are incompetently run, particularly the People, Finance, and Legal functions - it is impossible to find a competent and helpful person who wants to do more than collect a paycheck, which makes for a miserable employee experience - Unless in a customer-facing roles, there are limited promotion prospects unless you are willing to relocate to Sweden - If you work in a support function outside of Sweden, you do the work of the majority of the Company’s back office workforce (who are based in Sweden) for July and August because Swedish law guarantees Swedish residents 4-6+ weeks holiday (straight) - hope you didn’t want to enjoy your summer! - Women are held to materially higher standards than male counterparts and, at least in the Legal Department, are routinely publicly denigrated and screamed at by male management; the toxicity starts at the Executive level and trickles down
