      Great for Career Growth

      Pros

      Lots of opportunities provided to learn and grow and it's easy to move around within the company to pursue your career. My manager was quite hands off in the day-to-day work, trusting employees to know how to do their jobs which was empowering and allowed us to be very effective.

      Cons

      It can be very hard to get information related to your current work because it is such a large organisation and information didn't flow unless asked for. Turn over on our teams was high so there was lots of legacy systems no one knew anything about but that were critical to the business.

      ex-Nokia

      Pros

      Largest SW company in the world. If you like Microsoft as a brand and Microsoft products come here and make those products even berret. There are huge number of open postisions internally abroad so if you wan't move on your career it's up to you.

      Cons

      Merge working Microsoft way still ongoing. Ex-Nokia site's working on Lumia products are still chained by (bad) Nokia way of working managers.
