Pros

Good people, decent work/life balance

Cons

Company Policy is to suck up and screw down. Customers and suppliers are courted and helped wherever possible while employees are kept as low as possible, no raises, not even to cover inflation, a bonus policy that hardly ever pays what was promised and when separating from employees the full letter of the law is enforced with no consideration to tenure and achievements

Steady job if you're a technical person and like to keep that way. Manager path will alienate you from real work.

Pros

Pretty safe job in case you are a technical professional. Working time is 37,5h/week.

Cons

Poor salaries on sites which have relatively no competition in the same area. Technical oriented people are not appreciated as the ones who just sit in meetingrooms.

Pros

There is a lot of talented and driven people at Nokia, and the latest products are really amazing. Nokia has managed to pull itself back from the brink of collapse. It went from being the best to not even being a contender. The attitude of the people at Nokia changed all that, and the company is now starting to recover and look strong again.

Cons

Nokia has always been slow to respond to change. Whether that change has been in the economy or the ecosystem the response has always been too slow. Another major minus are the salaries. The pay is not good!
