Business Outlook

Pros

Good Work life balance Although bit late.. Company is taking steps for employee satisfaction Rest all is same as any other normal organization. Nothing extraordinary... 90 day Paternity leave is a plus..

Cons

Pay is definitely that needs to be looked at. For Old Nokia employees > 5 yrs in the company their salary is easily 30% less than the current market levels. Due to this many talented employees have already left. Plus No permanent WFH which is again a bummer
