There are managers and their working bees. Managers are full of ideas how their bees should work, selfdevelop, adjust themself to the all changes of the business environment, to be innovative, etc. And they will also keep their working bees informed about how happy are shareholders with them! However these managers will never get involved with the actual implementation of such wonderful ideas. They will simply empower poor bees, which now have to do not only their daily work, but at the same time, their selfdevelopment, analyzing global financial and business trends, generate multi-millions work improvements, etc., etc. All that is really great, however it is simply not fitting into available time = 24 hours. Working bees will become completely "burnt out". Members of their families will see them only sporadically during some long weekends. As a direct result of that the working environment became quite bizare. Trust will simply vaporize to thin air and everybody is only protecting their own working mini-field. And at this point of time the managers will come with another wondreful idea. Their will decide to share all these crazy achievements with some under-develop countries via a magic outsourcing. Some of their current, lucky bees will get "a marching order package" and that will be the best for them. Others will be persuaded by managers to "grab a lifetime opportunity", accept ~6 months separation from their families, flying repeatedly to 3rd world countries to share their vaste knowledge with the new breed of bees. God bless you!

Very varied day at work, no two days are the same. I am personally responsible for 9000 mobile sites on behalf of our customer

I have been thirty years in telecoms, which is still evolving at an exponential rate, so I am constantly learning.

I am currently in a department where I do not rate my management at all, due to a recent reorg, my department has been relocated to a department that has no experience managing my type of roll.

There are only another two nationally at my role, they are very good at their job, we do have office based support staff who carry out tasks for us when we are out of the office.

The hardest part of the job is setting expectations to customer who want things done instantly, where in the real world that is just not the case.

Meeting new and interesting people.

Every day brings new challenges and opportunities in Ericsson. It is vital to embrace and support this for a long and successful career.

The company has a great group of employees that will walk the extra mile for its peers.

Ericsson is highly outcome based, so accountabilities are clear. However this is supported through strong reward and recognition, team building, etc. to strike a balance.

Processes are a large part of Ericsson and the way of working. This is to ensure that Ericsson delivers products/services to the highest possible level. This can be a challenge for some people who like to "break the rules".

Ericsson was a great place to work when I started over 23 years ago. The opportunities I had working in other countries and the people I met was great. Ramping up of competition in the vendor market space, global economic pressures and increasing pressure on operational profitability has taken a lot of the personal touch that made this company special away. Toward the end of my employment, I often did 12 to 16 hour days trying to align to meetings around numerous time zones and continents. The additional hours were considered as professional time, and it became increasingly hard to find any work/life balance.

During my time in Ericsson whilst in my training role I have provided technical training in China, Malaysia and Singapore to both customer and internal staff in a variety of technologies from fundamental to  advanced topics.

The Customer Support Group within Ericsson provides support to Ericsson customers such as NBN, iinet and M2 (iPrimus) in various technologies including BNG (Broadband Network Gateways), MSER (Multiservice Edge Router) as well as MSANs (Multiservice Access Nodes).  In this role I was responsible for a group of up to 7 engineers as well as face to face customer meetings with customers up to CTO level.

* Poor work culture
* Great opportunities and pay increases for graduates but not for long term staff.
* Contractors & permanent Staff performances are compared equally during restructures and redundancies. But permanent staff need to complete additional internal organisation certifications & KPI obligations.
* Middle management are powerless within the matrix organisation - confusion between projects and line management are consistent. My manager does not know my job function...

Best part across the organisation is there is no concept of micromanagement. Telecommute is encouraged as long as target is achieved. Also flexible to work from home (if project / client agrees).

Seldom sugar coated speeches, most of the time it is direct transparent picture from management (Good or bad news)

Good in-house facilities like breakfast, fruit box and mobile plans. 

Sometimes, it gets hard to work with another part / team of organisation due to cumbersome processes.

I had the luck to work in their brand new offices at Docklands. What a change from the old factory and Broadmeadows, and what a scenery !!!

This is certainly one of my favourite jobs so far, is a very well structured organisation, excellent and continuous training provided, and a very well developed team building program, made really good friends back then and we still in touch until now.
