Pros
- Established company (bluechip) - Market leader - Good job exposure, great clients, excellent projects, good network, global spread - Good training, builds your experience, excellent opportunities to learn and grow
Cons
- Corporate culture with lots of bureaucracies - Values business, revenues and targets more than employees. you can be thrown under the bus, sacrificed or grinded to get the targets. - Subjects employees to slave like pressure to get to the targets, guys in the sales jobs and project delivery receives all the pressure - They don't respect personal time, your calendar can be booked for meetings even 11pm, no respect for weekends or public holidays - Annual leaves, day off, sick leaves are just theoretical, you will still be expected to work from home or hospital bed, join meetings, respond to messages, meet KPIs etc literally your bosses will call you even from the hospital ICU operations table when the doctor is operating you - Very European mentality that sometimes feels bullish and doesn't work for some markets like Africa. E.g., does not listen to customer requirements but want to push customer to do it the Ericsson way (this is how we do it in Europe)
