Pros

- Flexible working hours (depending on the LM) - Possibility to work from home (depending on the LM) - Payroll is never late

Cons

- Company re-hires employees that left the company few months ago with high salaries while gives 1-2% raise to current employees and high performers. It is suggested that you leave Nokia & come back after 6-8 months. Only then you will get higher salary and respect. - There is no reward of any kind - it is pointless to go the extra mile or support the company beyond your job description - There are many unsuitable Line Managers doing damage to peoples/teams. There is no poor performer plan for them - They will be LMs until retirement. - Upper management is not in place to take actions to fix real issues. Problems are know but trying to hide them under the carpet. - It is impossible to get a position since all positions are already assigned to someone before the go live to Internal Job Market.

Pros

Great manager, most of the team is friendly and fairly new to the company.

Cons

Job was (over)sold as a linux admin job and it's not. Most of the work is application support, creating accounts, standard copypaste scripts. Nothing out of the ordinary. Unlike other sysadmin jobs you don't have to work with lower level parts (eg. server hardware, storage, esxi, vcenter). There's A LOT of KPI's and report to be done and very little technical stuff. If you are coming as an L2/L3 linux admin, this you should ask yourself first if you want to further develop you skills or if you want an easy and cosy job with little career growth oportunities. Another thing to have in mind is that even if you get hired, that doesn't mean that you have a project to work on. Usually after a project is contracted by the company it can take a few months (even up to one year) until you can actually connect to a server and start working on operations. During this time there's a lot of training. Most of it being useless or very boring.
