Ericsson Career Growth & Development

Ericsson Employee Perspectives

At Ericsson, we believe that when our people thrive, our business thrives too. That’s why learning here is not just an event — it’s a way of life. Every day brings opportunities to explore new ideas, take smart risks, and build the skills you need to reach your full potential.

“Ericsson has been more than just an internship. It's been a journey of discovery, learning, and confidence-building. We have access to so many resources like degreed, tools, training, mentorship. It’s about building skills that will help us in the long run.” 
 

Cheshta Gupta, Support Engineering Intern

Ericsson Employee Reviews

Three weeks into the job, my manager asked me to present results to senior leaders. I had no experience, just what I had learned in school. But they trusted me. That experience set the tone for my career. At every stage of my life, whether I wanted to go back to school, travel the world, or now start a family, Ericsson has supported me.
