Ericsson Employee Reviews for Senior Consultant

What do you like about working at Ericsson?

"The benefits, and the professionalism of the people that work for the corporation."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If you are wiling to relocate to Plano Texas you will have the opportunity to compete for positions within the company, if you are a remote employee you will be valued but there is no upward mobility."

What don't you like about working at Ericsson?

"Company is slow and people are scared to make simple decisions without there being a consensus. Promotion is slow and sometimes regressive in my case coming in from an acquisition. To really be promoted you have to be at one of the Major Offices, which I am not."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"We are mobility company that would like to take the next step and become IP company. The company needs a new infusion at the executive level to make that happen. Currently it is only rhetoric, there is no substance behind the drive. People revert back the product lines they have been selling and have successful selling. I would take the John Chambers approach to the IP world, 1) show a new vision of where the world should be, 2) drive the product lines that will achieve the vision. Reward the folks that get the vision and execute on the strategy."
