Pros

You think you are working for Nokia's values about serving the next billion and connecting people, instead they don't do either. They disconnect families by ridiculous amount of travel to places where software gets made- where the talent is quite low.

Cons

no work life balance, too much politics, just not worth it. bad pay.
