Pros
This Business Unit offers great opportunities to grow and advance within the organization. They do recognize a work/life balance and encourage employees to shut down from work and enjoy your life. Management encouraged eduction in both professional areas and in personal interest. Once you were in a career path, you weren't forced to stay there. Anyone could decide to expand themselves thru a career change. Senior Management had an open door policy. This wasn't lip service, you really could just drop by and speak with the General Manager of the Unit. How often can you say that about a place you worked?
Cons
When people hear the name Nokia, they first think of cell phones or mobility. Few know that Nokia has the most secure Firewall and provide other products such as Intrusion Prevention Systems. Name branding was strong on mobility and very weak on Network Security. Everything had to be decussed to death. The Finnish model of Management enforced the practice of agreement. Sometimes, it is very hard to obtain and even harder when personalities or egos get in the way. On occassion, it would have been good to take action and then work thru the committee. These are the only two things I can think of as negatives.
