Pros

Trying to think of one...

Cons

Appalling company who appear to be failing rapidly, with huge cuts in team size that I am being forced to make. The usual BS about company values of growth and respect, which are being ignored totally. People treated as a commodity, rapid downsizing of 10s of percents of team sizes, risking significant order intake losses running into 10s of millions of euro. Utter madness. Senior management stinks - focussed entirely on cost saving and not on revenue generation - even in the sales team!

Pros

Core Technology and focus on the SP (Telco) market and adjacent IP related markets. Nokia as a mobile operator is compelling, focused to deliver on the promise for their top 40 global customers. This BU, though extremely process orientated, has a recipe that works. Caution the entrepreneur .

Cons

Unfortunately, anything outside of mobile is riddled by x Alcatel and Nortel people in middle to top management roles. The Company tries to recruit new blood but after3 years most have left due to the poor cliquey technical sales management, who frankly do not have a clue. They know how to manage up but not run business and engage the field facing sales staff. Nokia appears to have a strategy to eliminate any job in western, Northern Europe and move it to India or Hungary. So you work with a virtual team in a different TZ than do not understand well the local language customs, customers. The company will survive as there is not much competition left and mistakenly the EU thinks Nokia is still European but that boat left with most staff now in India or USA. Nokia is not for the change agent, make a difference type of person.

Pros

Still allowing telecommuting. Hands off approach of the best of Alcatel-Lucent, allowing the profitable parts to run independently. Removed Franco-based management from continuing to make poor decisions. Strong middle-management support allowing local areas to support their projects. Much better than the Chinese players in this space.

Cons

Although still allowing telecommuting, the merged company does not really understand the needs of telecommuters. IT is a joke, it is outsources to DXC (formerly HPE). I swear they use them to force employees to learn as much as possible to support their own IT infrastructure needs. Although no longer French, the Euro mentality still reigns at C level management and down to upper management. They really should learn some lessons from the best of the Americas and Asia. Always focusing on lowest cost at the expense of value to both the company and customers.
