Pros

* An international Brand to be proud of. * Work-Life balance is good * Large UX team * Leader in Mobile Technology

Cons

* Absolute chaos in internal project management. Too many people/teams doing the same thing * Services division in Nokia Bangalore functions like a outsourced unit * Nokia R&D presence in India is more than 3 years old, Yet, Services Bangalore team is still trying to prove themselves to the Nokia big heads in Finland, UK and US * Absolute disregard to experienced professionals. * Absolutely no discipline/science in assigning grades to people * Too many people spending too much time working on too trivial projects * Nokia as a brand seems to be too slow in catching up competition.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very virtual work environment, employees can work from home as needed, decent suite of tools available to to support work at home.

Cons

Work life balance is defined as working all the time and keeping your family last on your list. When there are cuts, all sites outside of Finland take deeper cuts than in Finland. Despite claims by Nokia that there is a secondary world headquarters in the U.S., the power base remains in Finland.
