Pros

Global resources, well equipped labs, good engineering work culture

Cons

European senior managers treat US employees like dirt. European leadership runs the company like the mafia, they destroyed US talent base just to keep tight control of the company. In the process they killed innovation and fell more years behind the competition. Working at Nokia feels a constant battle against the company.
