Ericsson Test Engineer salaries in Kolkata (Updated 2025)

Likes

Work culture, Technology, Peer-to-Peer support, get to work in some of the biggest projects in the world, will get to handle different roles and capacities which will increase knowledge base (you will be very much appreciated in the next company you join if you have worked hard in Ericsson as your skill set will be good)

Dislikes

Low salary increments, didn't give STV payouts for multiple years even after profit of our division (they clubbed our division with a loss making one so as to justify 0 payouts), no promotion even after relatively long terms in the company (they just increment salary and say what's in the position? You are getting salary equivalent to senior position as per market), not much appreciation even after you work very long hours continuously for long periods (although it may differ from team to team), can make you really comfortable in the Ericsson style life which can lead to you not switching companies on time and missing out on great CTC increases early in career (can become tough to get out of comfort zone for some people).

No promotion Salary very less compared to market standards. Night allowance is same since many years Politics everywhere. Only boot lickers get good ASR and promotion. Almost nill increament. Goals are very tough every year but ASR and ratings are nothing compared to that

Nothing to be liked for this company

Dislikes

... time and pass on the messages from upper management to team members. That's it. For this work they are paid huge salary and the engineers who do the whole delivery for the customer, they are left to justify for each and every goal that is fabricated by managers.

I really like the culture of Ericsson. There is job security. Most of all you don't have to be stuck at single project, if you have the potential and capability to grow you can get into any project. There is constant feedback taken from your managers and peers.

Dislikes

There is no likely process for promotions and salary growth.
