Community life

We have several events to build communities, spend some time together outside of the office, and get to know each other better. We have many traditional and annual events, such as Christmas parties, football championships, charge-up week and summer picnics.

Football Championship

Football Championship is one of the most popular activities among our colleagues. It is a traditional event where already existing, accustomed teams and newly formed teams can play together and go for the cup. We hold it every year, at the beginning of the summer.

Charge-up Week

At the traditional Charge-up Week we are focusing on physical and mental health. You can register to screening tests, presentations on health-related topics, and of course there are different sport activities.

Team activities

Our team’s efficiency and integrity is outstandingly important for us. We organize teambuildings, teamcoaching and other team related activities to support our teams to do their best.

Jubilee event

It is our tradition to welcome colleagues celebrating their 10^th or more anniversary together as part of a small ceremony at the Ericsson House. We really appreciate their work, which contributes to the success of Ericsson Hungary.

Christmas party

At the Christmas party we celebrate our successes which we achieved together throughout the year. The annual employee Christmas party gives an opportunity for everyone in Ericsson Hungary to stop for a while and have fun while building friendships and cross-team relationships.

Innovation Days

Held every year for our customers to showcase our latest innovations.

HackETHon

HackETHon is an event series, where innovation is driven by Ericsson Hungary colleagues. Participants get 24 hours to work on to work on a project, idea or innovation that interests and motivates them. The scale of possibilities is large, and the event is extremely fun. During the years we had several interesting projects such as improving test execution time, experimenting with smart glasses, or writing a story-based game on ZX spectrum.

Agile Coach Community

The Agile Coach knowledge sharing community has started with a vision of building up a community around the agile coaching profession. This is driven and boosted by 20 enthusiastic people from all around the organization, while the full community counts 120 members. The community is dedicated to learning and sharing by providing mentoring and shadowing and continuously helping in facilitation requests and virtual team buildings.

We are proud to have received numerous awards in the last couple of years that prove our commitment to make Ericsson Hungary an excellent place to work. Our Hungarian office is where our colleagues feel an honored member of the community and where innovation and social responsibility are in our operation’s focus.

Ericsson Award

Here in Hungary, we established an award in 1999 to maintain and raise the traditionally high standard of primary natural science education. The founders of the award are aware that high school mathematics and physics education plays a significant role in the fact that Hungarian technology and natural science graduates have outstanding knowledge compared to other countries in the world.

The Board of Trustees awards this prize to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of mathematics and physics teachers who demonstrate a high level of dedication, creativity, and enthusiasm in making their subjects attractive and accessible for their students, as well as nurturing young talent.

Starting 2024, we are also including Digital Culture (computer science) as a new subject category, in recognition of this discipline's growing importance and relevance in today's world. We believe that computer science education can foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation skills among students, and prepare them for the challenges and opportunities of the digital era.

Professor Rátz Lifetime Award

Since 2000, eight high school teachers have received the Professor Rátz Lifetime Achievement Award for their outstanding achievements in their careers. The Board of Trustees of the Foundation for Hungarian Natural Science Education established jointly by Graphisoft, Ericsson, and Richter, awards excellent teachers every year. Recipients of the award are high school teachers who play a prominent role in making mathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry attractive for Hungarian students and nurture their talents closely related to the founders’ field of expertise.

Ericsson House

Ericsson House was designed to support collaboration and an agile way of working, with several community places, huddle rooms, open spaces and some private focus rooms.

Our main office in Hungary was built on the bank of the Danube, as part of the first phase of the Hungarian Nobel Prize Winners Research and Development Park. The building was constructed following the LEED Gold environmental awareness rating’s stringent requirements, with a floor space of 24,000 square meter in total. The Ericsson House has one of Hungary’s most advanced and largest server rooms, together with the related R&D labs.

We have a recreation room, medical room, four floors of underground parking places, and a bicycle storage. We have many terraces where you can relax with a cup of coffee or work on your laptop while having a spectacular view on the Danube and enjoy a beautiful park around the building.
