Huge work load.. No recognition.. Totally unhealthy environment.. Managers commit to provide you enough training, but in real life they will throw you to the emergency situation without any kind of training.. Ericsson Montreal provides Tier III support without even a proper training, that's kinda funny.. sometimes for 3rd party support there's no training manual, you have to google it by yourself...

This rating is for one of the product units within Multimedia line. Organization is driven based on favorites whose opinion is the only one taken into consideration. Visible lack of leadership and business sense, everything driven and looked as a project. Practices are based on a big mouth concept and constant tendecy to complain about peers. No recognition, no career advancement. If you are...

Under regional management, Canada plays no role in the North American management structure or ways of working. R&D environment must adhere to 2 management styles, US and Swedish. Montreal site no longer has effective management at any level. Only when Sweden can acknowledge the error of thinking that One size fits all. American Market unit management style, does not make the best fit for overall...

I have to start by saying that I'm making my rating based upon my experience at Ericsson Canada (EC) several years ago. I still work at Ericsson but in another country. When I did work at EC the company was a very diverse, growing company with highly motivated employees with almost everyone willing to make extra efforts for the satisfaction of completing a project successfully and on-time and...

If you are looking for a fresh graduate who doesn't have a Canadian citizen or a PR you will find them in Ericsson bumping off locals with years of experience.

I can not give a higher rating. This company changed a lot in the last years and it is because of the bad managers. Employees working there for more than 20 nyears are treated like criminals, when laid off, they are escorted by security in seconds and they are not even allowed to take their coat. (It happened in ITTE organization so it is not only in Services). The managers from Services are...

Joined 2 yr ago.

Pro:

Obvously bad managed company. But this is common before bad thing happen.

Con:

Managment lack of integrity, practice interest conflict often. Such as Mgr get double paid by puting spouse under friend's apartment as contract. (Get no working time paid).

Is bad for New graduate to gain necessary experience and advance their skill.

Organized in chaotic way. Cannot retain...

This is rating for Services division (RNAM) which is controlled by management from US. I cannot recommend this division because of the management, their policies and how they act towards employees, random lay-offs which are based on discrimination and bias instead on work and performance criteria.

I can recommend RND and ITTE division which are still under Swedish management. The rating for...

I worked for this company for over 8 years , it was a great company when i first joined where it's given me the Opportunity to travel and gain telecom competence and knowledge However Ericsson has drasticly changed since 2009 when the management structure changed , the US management control every little move done in canada. Canadian managers became all Puppets and looked more like team leaders...

Managers keep their friends and fire others. They back list all those lay off guys. Lay off guys even can not find a job at other Ericsson divisions or in other companies and other countries because of the bad reference that managers will give other companies!!! Those managers do not care about you after lay offs, even if you lose your life!!!

I was also part of the latest layoffs. The 10% cut... They layoff 10% of their staff each year now and rehire. I was escorted out the building like a criminal. Ericsson was a great place to be 10 years ago but its been going downhill ever since. Got worst the last two years as the place is now controled by American dictators. Not much left of Swedish Socialism in this place... Leadership...

Horrible management, mafia style, HR supporting this.

I just got laid off after working for Ericsson for over 10 years.

Reason for layoff is a "business decision" meaning no reason except that I am paid more than people hired from India or new grads. My rating is based on current company situation and how they act towards their employees. None of the managers got laid off so this is also saying something (but I heard that two girls ready to...

I think every thing is good until now. but abou the future ,I worry about it .

Lots of people are saying here "it used to be a good company"...maybe...I would better say it used to be a company with less financial problems. Once the issues with money started, all the defects came out like the underwater rocks once the ocean level goes down. The management is definitely a big problem. A stupid manager will never keep or promote a smart employee, and there are a lot of stupid...

I am Rater2 in 2007 (5 stars), Rater28 in 2010 (3 stars) and now Rater255 in 2012 (less 1 star). Obviously, I am very upset because I got layoff last week due to Ericsson's bad business practice and poor management/leadership.

What can I say? Ericsson Canada (Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver offices) is going down and most likely will move all opertions to the US or Mexico, as Canadian...

Okay....here it is.....I have been working for this company for over 10 years....Fresh out of school it was a wonderful company to work for. A company that valued their employees. I had to deal with people from all over the world, and there was always a sense of pride working for /// from people everywhere.

I was raised by traditional European parents. Parents that instilled in me that I must...

Over the years the working conditions have deteriorated significantly and there is no way this

place can help you be better in your work field, improve your knoweldge, skills, etc

Depending on your goals, experience and age you may better off working for yourself or somewhere else than working there. The current bad ecomomic times may further make this and likely other similar Hi-Tech employers...

Ericsson is not what it used to be. I'm employed for 13 years. I'm looking for something else. They are so busy trying to achieve their only 2 objectives: profits and get the big piece of the pie (competitors), they have lost all their strenghts and moral. Motorolla is still a 4+ stars. It's sad, to say but it seems fading away. They hire and then they layoffs, one day is yes, next day is...

I am an Ex-Employee and left Ericsson few years ago. It already lost ground in ASIA , Africa and south america. I don't think it will survive long with this trend.

Another round of layoffs dictated by Dallas and this time they didn't even allow people to say good bay (they escorted people through the door without allowing them to pick up personal belongings).

They mainly targeted older employees (meaning people that are working longer time for Ericsson) but they also laid-off some younger employees since they had to feel quota.

I lost a few friends and...

This company has a well known policy of laying off 10% of its employees every year - regardless of economics. It is rarely based on performance and the manager HAS to do it. By the way, the managers are NOT part of the 10%...I heard recently that they are getting 30% bonus'......If I'm a new grad (and I was 2 years ago) I stay away like the plague. I left without regretting anything.

Ericsson use to have great values and it was great to work with this company. Now it changed drastically may be due to competition as some people say... Ericsson core values (respect, professionalism and perseverance) are no longer respected especially by manager who built a little mafia over the years. It is time that employees regain this power and Managers became regular employees rather than...

What is going on with this company? The stock is tanking!!! Is there a future for this company? Management please wake up or else another RIM in the making. Suggestion: learn from Apple!

one of the best companies to work for in montreal

I have been at Ericsson Montreal for quite a while, always in the R&D area. Prior to the dot com bubble burst, it was an excellent place to work. Even though there was a lack of incompetence management, there was so much success that this was a minor and irrelevant point. I was proud to work for the company at that time. Things have degraded progressively since then, to the point that I am...

Hired in 1989, laid off in 2008 (in spite of consistent good performance) to make room for younger employees. HR made me sign a paper promising that I would not take them to court. If I didn't sign they would not give me any severance package.

To the rater who somehow gave this rotten company 4 stars: One day you will be old too. Let's see what your review is then.

Not a good place to wok. Excessive and stressful wokload. Tasks often do not match the abilities of the employees. Training scarce, information and tools to perform the assigned tasks are restricted. No carreer plan. Very rare salary raises, virtually no recognition for any effort or good job peformed

Old school backwater mentality. As other have written here favortism plays a big part in how you are treated. It's getting more and more difficult to deal with stupidy and drama on a daily basis. Not a place to develop a career.

I have been with /// as a consultant for a while. I think most companies are going through tough times since 2001. The question we shall ask ourselves is how can we make /// a better place. It is sad when layoffs hit-but it should not be taken personal. If you do not like your management do not take it on the whole /// (your thoughts/words/actions have more persecution on your colleagues and not...

Hi

i have worked for ericsson for 12 years - the last 2 in Montreal (previously europe). Montreal is a great office. our department and teams (delivery organisation not RND) are super -- good camaradary, good cooperation, and my colleagues are really helpful and share knowledge. very international ! ... I find alsmost everyone I work with keen and dedicated. I like going into the...

There were big celebrations for the 25th anniversary of Ericsson in Montreal during the past week. Very impressive indeed! I guess they spent quite a bit of money for all the festivities.

On the other hand, they routinely layoff people, no more paid OT, etc, all to save costs! Strange, but sad. Also, it's sad that most of the older employees that were at EMC from the beginning and helped to...

The simple fact that 15.5% of the 1500 employees have posted review on this site is a clear indication of where Ericsson Canada has gone. Regional control and lack of Montreal leadership is the root of this decline. Canadas top 100 board of review should be looking at this site more often. Sweden also needs to take a hard look at thier North American Sites. Operation efficency metrics are for...

The Summum in Mediocrity.

Some employers DO, in fact, deserve a one-star rating. Just ask those employees whose "services were no longer required , after many had faithfully and diligently served the Ericsson Canada for more than a dozen years. I only wish it was possible to give this rotten company a 'zero' rating.

Beside all the bad reviews on management,

how are the foods at the caf?

are sick day unlimit?

any perks?

indoor parking?

work from home?

Promotion?

expense account?

I canceled my interview after reading your comments. I already have a job just thought ericsson is better till I find this website.

thx to all of you

ERICSSON = DISCRIMINATION

Working for Ericsson is a HUGE disappointment. This company is NOT a world class organization like many people think. Some people have said it in other postings...It has a sweat-shop mentality and you need ensure your survival skills are fine tuned to stay employed. Managers lack the experience and skills to lead a team of professionals. Workers are left fending for themselves to win the favor of...

This company's bad reputation is totally justified.

Career paths and employee retention is NOT a goal for EMC.

They routinely abuse and demoralize their people to get fresh blood in as often as they can.

FAIL.

One could fill a novel with this company's problems: great ideas pissed away by bad decisions; no management leadership; extreme lack of core values; absolutely no sense of pride; way way way too many managers for its size; pay below industry standards. This is, by far, the worst company I've ever worked for.

Old school backwater mentality. As other have written here favortism plays a big part in how you are treated. It's getting more and more difficult to deal with stupidy and drama on a daily basis. Not a place to develop a career.

I totally disagree with what most people have had to say so far. This is a great place to work at/for.

Competence: I have been working here for many years and have been paid doing nothing. I just throw around buzz words and make myself visible and I ride the wave and get a great pay for it. With every new management team I zero in on their respective likes and brown nose my way to the top....

Three Rotten Sausage

Stinking To High Heaven

Waitin' For My Package

The Hell With Ericssson

Very non supportive work environment. All attention is paid to management not to regular staff. Staff are generally afraid to speak out for fear they will lose their jobs, which is often the case. Brutal management style which results in frequent termination of regular staff. Avoid this company.

At Ericsson you may lose your job at any moment. Layoffs are common even if the company does well financially and profits are high. Layoffs are used by local management as a means of maximizing profits: fire 10 employees who earn above the average and replace them by 10 others who earn less than the average. Voila, profit increases! Of course this is completely ILLEGAL but the company does it...

This company is by far the worst and most stressful company that I've worked for. Yet some people have bogus positions with little or no tasks to do and surf the net all day while others are getting white hair working their ass off. And getting white hair is not good at Ericsson since they don't keep older workers.

May 1 is international workers' day. How ironic that during this time this company offers nothing for the employees and does everything for the bottom line and upper management.

Starting May 1, no more paid OT. Last week the shares went up 11% and it seems there are record sales in North America. Yet layoffs continue and the working conditions deteriorate. Upper management are getting richer...

They promise the world and deliver nothing. They take advantage at every turn.

Let's see, where do I start:

Pros:

world leader in mobile communications

record sales (doesn't ensure job security)

easy to jump to the operators but you will most likely have to move

Cons:

-raises that are either non-existant or minimal

-no more overtime (in fairness, most companies are like that)

-in some departments, expect to work night and graveyard shift at the office or travel...

Anybody knows when the next layoffs will be?

Treated like a sub-human profit machine. Management has little concern for employees or their condition, all they care about is $$$. They will fire anybody who is aware of or questions their ethics or mistreatment of workers....

The most highly "micromanaged" companies that I have ever seen. The company has no faith in their employees and views them disposable commodities and can easily be replaced. I would never recommend anyone work for this company. If you don't mind working strange work shifts and long hours that do not allow you to have a social or family life then you've found the perfect "career". Just don't...

Most employees are treated very badly in this company. Recently Ericsson US reached an agreement with Ericsson Canada that Ericsson US would not hire any one from Ericsson Canada internally becauese they are afraid too many people leaving to US. They lowered your payment and they blocked you to find a chance to go.

What a crap!

Did anybody ever consider recording the meetings with HR and Managers? Remember, cell phones doooo record.

Recently was let go. They are not advertising this but I'm sure age is a Big factor. My replacement was a little more than half my age. True DISCRIMINATION! Cost cutting. I was told that there was no more work only to find out they continue to hire. How can this happen? How can the government not know that Ericsson is doing this? How can they formally be advised? This company will not get ahead...

Honestly there are a few areas mentioned above that do not even deserve 1 star. If you want to work for a company that has complete disregard for the satisfaction and happiness of their employees -- apply. I should also mention that there is NO human resource department to handle any issues or concerns, so if they arise, feel free to bring it up to your superiors and suffer the consequences....

You need to belong either to the same country born as your manager ( so obvious that 3 nationalities are taking control of E/// Canada or to be part of special hypocrite group,.. ), E/// Canada has dummy mandate and only because of government tax privilege that still existing otherwise there is no point to have it there. for that reason and due not having real mandate, management is creating...

My wife interviewed there 8 years ago. They asked her if she was planning to have kids, she said yes one day!

Reading all these comments we are both glad she didn't get the job. A few weeks later she got an offer from a small, up and coming firm that hasn't stopped growing, she loves it there and has been promoted 3 times! Thank you ericsson!!!

how ericsson montreal canada views employees

event: employee's e-mail asking for the policy to resign because of her frustration and problems and hr's response was we accept your e-mail as your resignation... no come to my office and we can discuss your issues or/and problems, etc.. this event happend about 1 yr ago.

event: friend worked at ericsson for over 10 yr and got a job offer....

De loin ma pire exp�rience de travail. Couper les co�ts est devenue la seule et unique raison d'�tre de cette compagnie. La direction en est obs�d�e et les employ�s sont d�prim�s par le d�luge de mauvaises nouvelles. C'est surprenant qu'une compagnie qui fait de profits famarineux soit � ce point pingre.

The arrogance that is the culture of ericsson is astounding. If you have your own point of view or thoughts that aren't in line with management you are deemed negative and will find yourself on a blacklist of people who will never be promoted. Yes, this does exist.

Work at the company for 10+ years. Place deteriorating, getting worse. It is all about whose mouth are bigger and louder and who complains first. For people looking for advancement in technical career or those without strong tendency to complain about their co-workers, not the place to be. Lack of basic respect and recognition for work well done. Requires radical changes on management level to...

One of these days they will have to recruit homeless people because no one will want to work for them.

I have spent nearly an hour reading all the reviews and the respective comments , and now I feel I don`t have much more to add . If you want quick info about the situation here you can refer to these reviews which provide good analysis of the multiple issues with this company: nos. 102 - 99 - 90 - 84 - 81 - 74 - 71 - 68 - 61 - 60 - 55 - 50 - 40 - 35 - 23 - 13 .

For my part I am actively...

Rater109, please post again when you have more white hair and are about to lose your job.

But I completely agree with you regarding workload, some people have very very little to do and spend an awful lot of time on Facebook and such sites. And they don't even get in trouble for it!!! Pretty neat, eh? I've been wanting to apply for one of those jobs but somehow they're never posted. I...

I got terminated because of my age. I had outstanding reviews and a lot of work to do. But I was told that the company wanted to project a YOUNGER IMAGE. I guess I should have offered to get a face lift but I just gave up.

Ericsson Canada lost a loyal, extremely dedicated, productive employee.

This kind of discrimination is illegal and they know it.

Some reviewers are pushing it a bit. Ericsson in not made of only bad things. There are the flexibe hours, and it i not true that every employees have to work 50-60 hours a week. There is are other attractive things around the job (since no job anywhere will be perfect) : gymnasium, showers for those who come by bike, day care center, etc. Using this site to vent is of course a good thing, but do...

This company is on a 10 year COST OBSESSION campaign. Often they spend a dollar to save a cent but don't have the vision and wisdom to realize it. The company is making piles of money for crying out loud, when will this non-sense stop?!

They are opening themselves up to a lawsuit. If everyone would get together and get a good lawyer, there could be the chance that a class action lawsuit could be filed against Ericsson Canada. I think the Quebec Labour department should step in and end this non-sense!

Ericsson in Montreal, Canada, work for over 15 years and still work here. Used to be proud to be here to work, but not any more. the company dropped a lot in terms of happy employees over the last few years. I would not recommend to anyone looking for a company career. Overtime and bank hours taken away, but still want their regular employees to work more than 40 hours. Management response was...

Pathetic managers who couldn't even manage a 7-11 even if their life depended on it. High stress, sometimes unbearable. A lot of bulls***t and propaganda. The age discrimination is a big turn off. They squeeze the lemon and discard you later. Horrible employer.

Used to be a nice company to work for, but changed drastically with the reorg. Hard working people lost jobs, people spending their time on facebook are still there... A lot of a** licking is happening right now. The general mood at work is really down. People don`t feel like making effort anymore, as it`s not recognized. Management doesn`t treat people correctly. And company`s values... are...

There are many negative things I can say about Ericsson Canada, but reading the reviews, they've honestly already been said. I will reinforce the fact that management is a bad joke at this company, basic things like communication, respect, recognition, don't think these things exist in this company's vocabulary. Avoid.

Business model, vision and strategy - there isn't no one knows what is going on. Values and corporate culture - lots of favourtism. Recognition - 5 years and counting and no recognition. Atmosphere - unprofessional. Teamwork and cooperation-none it not existant. Work/family life balance.

Greatings from the US. I assure you that we feel your pain as well. Its disgusting how this company treats its employees. I am one of the many former S employees and we all got ripped off.

Many lies were told, then lay-offs, pay cuts then people were replaced by idiots off the street. Work Force Management is a train wreck.

I really do not recommend this company

I got laid off by Ericsson Canada because of my age. I had to train my younger replacement. It's a mortal sin to be above 45 at this company. DISCRIMINATION R US.

This company is not at all what it used to be. In the early 2000s, employees used to take pride for their ability to deliver quality work. Career advancement was in general based on merit, achievements and knowledge. Leaders were chosen amongst the most knowledgeable people in their teams, as long as they also had the people's person aspect, pretty much what any decent place requires in order to...

Ok, well not the best place to work, but not the worst either. Listen if you have to complain about your job and expect work and opportunity to fall on your lap, then you haven't learned how to get around. If you are not happy, leave. Recent changes will make this place suck, not OT, no banked hours. But they still expect you to work OT. But in the end, when you have worked in any place for...

I worked at Ericsson for about 7 years and switched into different groups. There is a problem with the culture at Ericsson which starts with management. They hold no accountability and do not enforce anything positive. Conflict management is horrible. There are biases against women, age, race and many barriers to advancement. No investment in people and capabilities. All about cost cutting. You...

I gave 14 years of my life to this company working tirelessly for the companie's success. Often evenings, nights, weekends, I sacrified my personal life for Ericsson. I often worked 50-60 hrs per week and never claimed the overtime. To thank me for my loyal services Ericsson Canada laid me off. I had become "old" (shame on me) and no longer fit the pyramid model posted on the wall. While they...

This place has become one of the worst places in to work at in Canada. In some departments, people are sent on site for weeks and weeks at a time, away from their families. On call and working evenings and weekends is also the norm.

In other groups, there is less travelling, but there is the constant threat of layoffs. Cost cutting has become an obsession! Older employees are targets for...

"The sales are at a record high. Congratulations to all. But unfortunately we have to do some lay-offs."

"Quaterly profits are on the rise. However we have to do some lay-offs."

Well you get the picture... That's Ericsson Canada.

Let's see, you work like a slave, travel for months on end with no compensation, now they are talking about cutting overtime, low perdium for being away from your family, after 31 days they cut the lousy perdium by 30%. No raises, bonus? what bonus? You are as good as your last project, anything before that is forgotten unless you are the managers pet. And on top of that now we have to worry...

Ericsson Canada is so proud to say that they are cheaper than China (am not joking, they really do). And who has to suffers for this? Not management since their HUGE bonus has not been cut. If you have a bit of self-respect go work for a company that treats its employees like human beings.

I read many comments and was surprised to find a lot of not so good comments... As for me, a newly 'restructured' very old montreal employee i am very disapointed to have been laid off. I saw it coming, so on my part business is business... when business was good, montreal was an incredible place to work, when business went global, and montreal did not catch so well the train, well i think...

I am so disapointed by Ericsson, so disapointed. After all the sacrifices we have made from traveling away from our famillies, to night shifts and the daily stress, we are treated like toilet paper. Dallas management have really destroyed Ericsson Canada. They tell us we are making multi billion dollar profits, and when is the last time anyone of you had a raise ? when is the last time you didnt...

Honest and sincere advice... JUST DON'T JOIN THE COMPANY. Your dreams will become dead. Your career will get crushed and you will be left in the dark trying to find a way out. The company has no moral standards and treats its employees the worst. If you join you will work on outdated and marginal technologies from a bygone era nowhere else in use and mainly on support. You will do better not...

TERRIBLE !!! The recent re-organization screwed up the work ambient big time. This "company" gives you less, and less, and less, and wants more, and more and more from you. They will cut bonus, overtime, points, paid internet at home, and will 'ask' you to work crazy shifts (night/day/night/day, in order to destroy your biological clock), deal with incredible pressure from the crazy North...

This company should really be investigated by the Labour Board.

Used to be good work for this company, not after the business is drive by North America/Canada.

When the company was ran by Sweden used to be a really nice company

not anymore

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM IT

AVOID!

See the reasons in all the reviews below.

Worst company on the planet... I have been with Ericsson for 6 years now and I thought I have seen it all... NOPE... this company thinks its employees are toilet paper... I am not a bitter employee either! I have not been fired and I have good reviews too. It is just the culture from the top all the way down is unethical at best. There really is nothing good about this employer and I am now...

Bottom feeders, don't work there.

** Situaci�n es terrible **

The experience in Ericsson Montreal is horrible. The stress and pressure level is absolutly unbearable, the personnal sacrifices you will be doing are absolutly unhuman. For example you will be working on different shifts that vary often which will screw up your system and your familly life since you will be in office doing these shifts (a lot of them night) or you will be travelling most of the...

I heavily regret ever joining this company. It's a sad sad place with no future. Brutal management. Employees are highly disposable.

I started with EMC back in 1997 and from 1997 to 2003, those were very good years. A great place to work. SInce 2003, things just went down hill. No major mandates after the lost of TDMA, CDMA,.... Very little R&D; left at EMC. Not sure what is the future of Ericsson in Montreal. Now with the dollar at par with USA, coorporate Ericsson could move the work to Dallas.

Toxic and dangerous, worst employer on the planet. You don't learn anything that can be useful or marketable outside the company. Employees are highly disposable, any reason is good to have layoffs. No job security (unless you are friends with a director).

Stay away.

Simply stay away ! Been here over 6 years now !

Literally work like a slave, no raises, no recognition, managers have no accountability, no respect. They will squeeze you dry and dump you in a blink of an eye

Toxic Environment ! Stay Away !

NO FUTURE WORKING HERE

Record profits yet no yearly raise? How can this be justified exactly?

If you want a relatively stable job don't apply there because random layoffs are the norm.

Despicable.

Laying top performers while friends of big managers keep their position regardless of performance. Some people are overworked while others have nothing to do. Some have a nice private office with window while others are stuck in cubicules. There is no fairness here. Management is a farce.

Disfunctional, miserable, stressful, disrespectful. Management operates like a little mafia. Bottom of the barrel in the telecom sector. Better be on welfare than work for this company.

I am Rater2 again, it has been 3-yrs at Ericsson Canada (Montreal office) and even though, I've had tons of disappointments... I've also learn a lot! (mainly technically). PROS: nice facilities, good work teams (multi-cultural) and excellent global exposure. CONS: bad management decision, too much cost obsession and random layoff of valuable people. In 2007, I thought I would have a 30+ years...

The place has been deteriorating.

Employees should get together and set up a union to fight abusive management practices. Blatant discrimination against older employees who are pushed out. Management is strictly there and doesn't care about the quality of the work. Avoid.

Very very disapointed with this employer.

Worst job experience ever.

Corporate propoganda is over the top. Hard pill to swallow when local management continues to run the company into the ground. Very top heavy. Hidden high level employees are tucked away safely intact with all benefits in place. Upper management take every precaution to protect themselves and thier perks. Montreal needs a clean sweep. No union and no protection for solid employees. Employee...

Really awful place

Zero stars for this dump. Completely rock bottom. Poor management has killed this company. Laying off older employees at the top of the business when profits are excellent and there is a lot of work. And of course replacing them with cheaper ones. You dont want to be working there believe me.

The Toronto office is a bit better than the Montreal office. Having said that you should look elsewhere for employment. This company is not a good place to work.

This place is NOT recommendedable for anyone. Expect to work long hours and have your salary frozen. Management doesn't know what it's supposed to do (many don't even have a degree).

good place to work if you like backstabbing

Limited advancement opportunities in the Montreal office.

Upper management lacks interest in employees goals and desired career paths, there is a ongoing "blocking" of promotions and employees must fight the system to be considered for a new position.

Not the most rewarding method of getting well rewarded for good work...

Mismanagement galore, productivity means nothing to them.

Not recommended.

This company is obsessed with cost cutting and would do anything to save a penny. Stay away.

The situation is very dependent on what department you work in and who is your manager, but generaly speaking after close to 10 years I must say conditions are degrading here in the last 5 years. Used to be a great place, then an average place, then a below average place. Unless you are friends with the right people you will probably not enjoy working there.

Bad place, no yearly raise, no promotions, tons of overtime, incompetents managers.. Not recommended.

Used to be a good place but no longer is. Constant treat of layoffs.

Great place to learn technology, people are great to work with, good environment to work in. However, there are no work-life balance with a lot of stress, if you work in wrong department or team. Management tend to ignore on the problems than fixing them. Salary base is low compare to other telecom company.

Corporate image is pretty packaging. Internal operations have been disintegrating over the last five years. Lack of leadership and poor management will eventually bethe demise of Montreal

In Montreal, you better be part of the local hockey team - or forget about any promotion or recognition. Generally, the place is infested with politics at all levels. However, the package is good, and it is a good school to go through.

Simply the Best !!

I feel so lucky to work for this company.

Best place in Montreal

i working at ericsson for about 6months, i really enjoy being there except the salary with is not really high but average the team spirit and also the challenging that ericsson offer is very interesting. Moreover, working abroad with different people different culture in different countries is very helpful to develop an international background. i really recommand that for new entry level...

Even though I am a newbie at Ericsson Canada. I love everything about the company, the people, the business culture and of course, the pay (hehehe). Just my 2 cents ;-)

The situation is very dependand on what department you work in and who is your manager, but generaly speaking after close to 10 years I must say conditions are degrading here in the last 5 years. Used to be a great place, now it is more kind of an average place to work at. I would recommend for a friend who has currently a bad job, or without a job.
