Pros

A good place to start a telecom career and gain industry knowledge.

Cons

Rampant corruption at the top with zero leadership accountability—evident in multiple civil lawsuits, DOJ investigations, and convictions. Shareholder bailout seems to be the strategy. The leadership consists of pretenders, politicians, and referees rather than true leaders. Decisions are driven by job preservation rather than genuine leadership for business growth, customer satisfaction, and customer retention. Chronic overcommitment and under-delivery. Diversity is merely a checkbox; the top remains a white men's fraternity club. The company claims Swedish values and culture, but these only apply to departments actually based in Sweden.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
