Pros

-Relaxed Office Environment -Needed Trainings are provided -Work Life Balance

Cons

-Bad Leadership throughout all the way from CEO level. -People on management level still are not thrive for real change to this ever changing and competitive environment. Companies always implement changes, but these changes only affect people on the bottom the most. People on the top are just playing musical chairs, swapping roles. -Management are rarely responsible for any bad decision they have made. They stay in their job whereas engineers are blamed by being laid off. -Bad Salary to start with. Average yearly pay rise was about 1~3%. This is pathetic. -Managers are selfish, only care about their own promotion.

Pros

You can work very independently, where ever you want, and take time off quite flexibly if your tasks allow you to do so. Have had some very good managers and coaches in the company but also experienced the challenges.

Cons

Decision making is a general issues though. Lots of politics and inefficiency. You have to put in long hours, weekends etc. At the same time you see a lot of people in the company who have not had anything to do for a long time.

Cons

European mentality regarding products created for American carrier customers - The home office in Finland limited new product development Top Heavy management - Too many people with vague titles and too few people doing actual work Process oriented. Too many meetings about 'how' to do a job. Totally missed some product trends during the past decade
