Pros

Very nice place to work even in stressful times. Very friendly people and management.

Cons

Lots of dead weight - employees have very varying degree of competence. Slow decision process, slow process overall.

Pros

Great engineers in the USA and interesting products. challenging issues to work on...no end to the issues. Benefits are really nice and good vacation/PTO policy.

Cons

Proprietary solutions in a world going open source. Tied to Ericsson too closely. Only "cool" stuff gets done in Sweden and Japan (Sony and Ericsson), even when it could be done better and more efficiently in USA. Software technology stuck in the 80s. Forgot more than i learned in my decade there.
