Culture at Ericsson

7.2
7.2 rating for Culture, based on 17 reviews
Please describe your company's culture both in the office and after hours. Let us know about the structure and hierarchy, cooperation and teamwork, and socialising amongst colleagues.
The company is very flat. There are very few levels of hierarchy between me and the people that I need to get my job done. Our team is highly collaborative. There are experts on hand who are very generous with their time. We share coffees and after work drinks often. My manager is very people focused and supportive. I've always been supported for any tools or training that I have needed.

There is no after hours culture at our company. I would say most of the time there is good work/life balance but no socialising amongst employees. As defined by our new policies, the company will not pay for or subsidise any social events outside work hours. There is a futsal and netball team now which is available during work hours, this is a good team event to add culture.

Very friendly and knowledgeable people. As a young person in the workplace, I have always felt that I have been able to ask for help or guidance and it has been readily given.

Friendly and respectful culture with a diverse workforce.

The company culture is good; highly inclusive and friendly. However I feel that post-covid it is dwindling somewhat; there used to be far more people in the office to learn from, ask questions to or just have a chat with at lunch. Now the office is often very quiet and I find myself having lunch by myself most days. A lot of the veterans only come in for scheduled team events (a handful a year), and even then, only about half. I have not seen a few members of my team face-to-face in a number of years. In terms of work, people are very willing to help each other out and are generally very warm. The org structure is different to a lot of other companies, each technical employee effectively having two managers - a project manager and a line manager to handle the people-functions. This can tend to be a bit excessive a lot of the time and creates some confusion/extra admin around who to approach for certain issues (and extra approval steps...)

I can't speak much for the company as a whole, but my team has pretty good culture. Everyone in my team is kind and I don't feel scrutinised by any one person. The team works well, and we joke around from time to time. We do get together for team dinners maybe once per half-year, though I'd like to see it happen more often and maybe with different activities. Managers have a open-door policy, so the hierarchy isn't a strict structure within my team.

Ericsson culture is the best part of Ericsson that I have seen in my three years of tenure. But instability of service delivery projects often results in us losing our contractual staff on short notices. Those who have worked with us as One Ericsson and those who are keen to stay in Ericsson family. This uncertainty creates tension within teams between perms and contractors. Other than that, 99% of Ericsson staff we have in ANZA display best of Ericsson values both during work and during socializing activities. Love the amount of effort that goes to groom us with non-technical skills that are a must have these days.

There's no support for team building activities. We don't have any after hrs engagements. Young professionals organise self-sponsored after work drinks and dinner events but nothing at official capacity. Besides the immediate management, we do not have any engagement with the senior management with regards to any improvements that could be made to projects/programs or the support that could be extended to the graduates and YPs

Everything is on point.
