Working at Ericsson in Overland Park, KS: 11 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Overland Park, KS Area

"I have been with Ericsson since 2009 after they purchased a management contract from my previous employer. My total tenure is over 13 years of telecom experience."

"Worked for Ericsson for about a year and a half. Love the relaxed environment and the way it is managed. Micro-management is almost non-existent. People are expected to come into work and do their job without being under managements thumb. Great group of technical people to work with, who are educated in the field. Work with new and outdated technologies, have learned a lot from this job and would continue to stay if I wasn't moving away."

"I am currently contracting for Ericsson as a Technical Support Engineer in their network operations center. Ericsson manages Sprint's network. I am part of Tier II - WDI (Wireless Data Infrastructure). We troubleshoot issues on the network backbone, supporting call data network operations (CDNO), packet data network operations (PDNO), and packet data network security infrastructure (PDNSI). Sadly our group is being outsourced to Mexico in a few months."
