Pros

The Business guys (sales & marketing) are really good and deserve credit for the fact that Nokia is still around inspite of the products in the market. with the new windows phone, hope it works!!!

Cons

IT at Nokia was an army of incompetent people enjoying the benefits when Nokia was number 1. The new sturcture is equally bad as all the incompetent people are now heading the new sturcture!!!

Pros

Compare to other companies in same industry, Nokia Siemens Networks gives good benefit and good compensation to its employees.

Cons

I as the local Indonesian, can see that Nokia Siemens Networks is still unfair to treat local. Many expats come, so the carreer opportunity for local is difficult
