Pros

Great engineers in the USA and interesting products. Challenging issues to work on, with no end to them. Benefits are really nice and there's a 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 the USA. Software technology stuck in the 80s. Forgot more than I learned in my decade there.

Advice to Management

Crystal ball: Sony Ericsson won't be around in 2 years.
