Nokia is an international company with good career development opportunities for geographically mobile employees

Business Outlook

Pros

- exciting and fast moving industry segment - non-hierarchical organization where people are valued - good career development opportunities, if you are geographically mobile

Cons

Company is at the moment severely challenged by competitors at all price points from Mediatek ecosystem in low end, to Android in mid segments to Apple dominating the +$300. This creates uncertainty for the future that is palpable in employee morale.
