Pros

Good work life balance, nice canteen.

Cons

Impossible to progress for technical people. Maybe in old days it was possible, but now its impossible. Nokia looks after management types but not the technical minded types. Lots of hangers on at nokia. People who been there long time on good salary, but hardly do anything useful.
