Very turbulent times at NSN.

Program manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The Telecoms industry - although it is in an identity crisis, it is at the core of, and contributes an essential part to, everyone's world today and in the future: the means to communicate. Opportunities should be abounding.

Cons

Fear: of financial contraints; of competitive moves; of restructuring activities and the impact; if able to pull off the chosen strategy.

Pay and benefits are good, but first/mid management make poor decisions.

Program manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people and great team spirit in the individual teams. Excellent salary. Really good benefits and 401K match. Not too much internal politics any more, now that Symbian and Meego are dead.

Cons

The managers are not experienced or trained well, and many managers lack any people skills. The good managers are the ones who were trained elsewhere, not the ones that are home-grown. Do not expect much formal training; most of that was cut a couple of years ago. There is not much internal communication about strategy or successes/failures; you may not hear from your Director for many months.
