Pros

1. you will learn a lot if you are put into a good team. 2. usually work culture is pretty good in the R&D team. 3. colleagues are mostly helpful. 4. don't have to keep slogging.

Cons

1. company pays you just enough so that you usually will not do all the tiring work of finding a new job. 2. when you are in development in a considerably big team you will usually not get important feature to develop on your application. It's quite hard to be like in the forefront of a feature development if you are a junior. 3. you have to be very lucky to be in a team where not too many senior tech leads/architects are there so that you actually get exposure to develop and design a feature from the forefront and someone is just mentoring you. 4. the problem in the R&D teams are technical architects, they don't move and go to a new team so that the juniors can get the chance of showing their capabilities. As i said one has to be very lucky to get better opportunities in the team

Pros

The benefits provided by Nokia is the best I've seen so far. Teammates/Line Managers are nice, friendly, and welcoming. Infinite opportunities to learn new stuff.

Cons

Salary growth is slow. Most of the time you are doing work outside of your actual role. Work-Life Balance is almost non-existent. Mistakes from the upper management causes devs to compromise heavily just to meet targets.

Pros

Great place to work. Good work-life balance. Great culture and opportunities for those who want push the line. Good place to settle for those want to take it slow for a while.

Cons

Not the greatest salary. No add-on or perks absolutely other than salary
