Ericsson-Worldwide

A typical day of work would consist of an early meeting with my team to discuss progress on projects and news. Then I would go to a meeting regarding a specific feature being developed. The group consists of different types of engineers all working together to try and get the feature complete. We would discuss obstacles, progress, and upcoming work. The team worked in an agile way; all the work was done concurrently and work load is shared even if it is not specific to your field. I had the chance to work with systems, software, and PV engineers. The rest of the day I would spend programming, testing, and consulting other people. 

I learned a lot about software engineering, feature development in large companies, Wi-Fi, and mesh networks.

The hardest part of the job was getting proper instructions and specifications for features. Sometimes my group felt disconnected from the company. Hard time getting set up with the equipment needed for work, a lot of time was wasted unnecessary.

The most enjoyable part of my work was getting to do different tasks, and learning about software development in the industry. I had a chance to work on many diverse projects that I feel have made me a well-rounded individual in regards to software and communication engineering.

The best part of working for Ericsson was that I had the opportunity to take on a significant amount of responsibilities. As 1/3 of the sourcing team, I was empowered to make important decision and was responsible for work that made a large impact

I recently had the opportunity to experience the products and services offered by Ericsson, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. Ericsson has established itself as a leader in the telecommunications industry, and it's evident why they have earned such a prestigious reputation.

First and foremost, the quality of Ericsson's products is unparalleled. Whether it's their cutting-edge network infrastructure, innovative communication solutions, or state-of-the-art mobile devices, Ericsson consistently delivers products that are reliable, efficient, and technologically advanced. Their commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of their offerings.

Furthermore, Ericsson's customer service is exceptional. From the moment I reached out to inquire about their products, I was met with professionalism and prompt assistance. The Ericsson team was knowledgeable, patient, and eager to address any queries or concerns I had. They went above and beyond to ensure that I had a seamless experience, from product selection to installation and beyond.



Ericsson Jamaica is a very good place to work. A typical day would involve one of our many customers reporting an emergency. What I have learnt is that during these times, its expected that the customer may be in a "panic". It is up to me an the engineer to be cognizant of this an manage the situation. Ultimately, they need information on the situation, the analysis and what steps are being done to resolve. if this is done properly, then you'll have a happy customer. Among my coworker, there is a real spirit of camaraderie. If one engineer is handling an emergency, everyone helps even if the node involved is not one that you individually support. Of course, the most enjoyable part of the job is when the issue/emergency is resolved, and then the customer calls back to extend there appreciation of your efforts.

A typical work day usually starts from a short SCRUM stand-up meeting in which XFT members share what they have done and impediments they have met so that developer can keep in mind of surrounding colleagues are doing and make it efficient to request for support.

Then developers are absorbed into their specific development, including solution design, coding, debug, verification and continuous improvement. 

Ericsson provides a perfect working environment where there are a lot of separate meeting rooms in which you can freely discuss issues with colleagues without concerning impact on others.

Afternoon, there are usually some technical seminars or forums which you can freely to join to learn or present your ideas.

Another advantage of Ericsson is its respect culture, which respects employees' idea, interest, diversity and their family lives so that people can keep balance between work and life.

The work environment is amazing and the people working there are all very easy to work with and are friendly while being very focused and knowledgeable about their field of work.

The most enjoyable part of the job was when I was working on something new, but also, it is the strong synergy between team members when everyone is on the same page.

The hardest part of the job would be similar in any other tech jobs, where the obstacle stopping your flow of work is at the hands of another person or management, because they are part of the process as well.  At times, it tends to be busy, and that is when there can be like a traffic jam.

There's lots to learn and new technology to work on. However, the pay isn't that great, and the workload is heavy. While Ericsson doesn't pay for overtime and doesn't expect it's employees to work overtime, the workload will make it necessary to put in free hours. Unfortunately, the salaries don't keep up with the challenging nature of the work either. While Ericsson claims that employees can work globally, you have to know people on the inside to actually get placed anywhere outside your region. However, not all is bad. The employees are mostly nice, and the work environment is generally pleasant. There are numerous travel opportunities, all over the world. I recommend Ericsson if you're just starting out in the workforce, and want to see the world and learn a lot along the way.

- No on boarding training for junior hardware developer (PA, digital, TRX, etc). No sure if it is common for software engineer. Most of senior engineers are nice and professional, but they are too busy to help the juniors.
- Everyone especially senior developers in hardware team is overloaded. For example, the project deadline cannot be postponed even the shipment of DUT got delayed for a couple of weeks. You get to finish the work before the deadline. Those mangers don't care about your work life balance. 
- No trust between manager and hardware developers. You can feel the tension between technical team leader and project managers. 
- Low salary compared to the workload. 
- Too many useless and stupid 'so-called' knowledge share sessions or meetings. Just a waste of time. Maybe those high-level managers think the developers have enough spare time everyday like themselves.

Ericsson is a very solid Information and Communications company. Built around very solid core values with clear purpose, vision and mission and supported by a high caliber executive leadership team, Ericsson is perceived to be a leader in the IT and communication arena.  
With customer first being one of its principles, Ericsson does not hesitate to invest in R&D to keep and maintain its leadership position. People at Ericsson are considered to be its greatest assets. Leadership, accountability, responsibility and empowerment are key traits that Ericsson puts emphasis on, supported by continuous learning. This makes Ericsson a great place to work in.
Currently, Ericsson is supporting the hybrid work environment without jeopardizing the people work life balance. 

Worked in XFT where we participate develop features on 4G LTE. Participated in daily scrums where we provide update on current work items and discuss issues that arise from testing and development. Learned a lot of about the application layer of the communication protocol.

Work culture is great, you are provided a mentor and there are product experts who are always willing to help. There are a lot of positions and jobs that allow the ability for you to move around. Teams from time to time will go on team building events in the area. There is a fooseball table for when you would need a break. Hardest part of the job is ramping up and learning about the product, but the people around you are always there available to help.
