Nokia reviews

- Your first job after you conclude your Degree will define your future, and working for Nokia-Alfragide will bury it. This company is only for starters that couldn't find another opportunity. - The knowledge gained here is very low and no other telecom company will hire you because you worked for Nokia. Remember you are the first line of support, so they don't expect that you gain deep knowledge. - They hire people from high schools and technicians with no degree to do the same job as you do, that took for you 3 or 5 years to take, so they won't give you any value or advantage to have one degree. - This GDC/NOC is intended to be a first line of support like a call center or help desk, so they don't give you advanced training, superficial training only. - There are no career advance, you'll earn always the same thing. - The lab is very poor, most of times the only contact with the network elements will be remotely at customer's equipment. - Most of the technologies you work here are phased-out, so the knowledge you learn here will be trowed to the trash soon. - Due to the constant restructure and fusion and divorce (Nokia Siemens Networks, Nokia Solutions Networks, Nokia Networks, Nokia-Alcatel) this company is a mess - The line managers are so much incompetent and do nothing. In most of the teams there aren't team meetings or audits, so no feedback on your work and you are by your own here . - Here you are a number and don't feel that you have a value to the company. - Don't expect any help from teammates since they also don't know anything or don't want to tell and you'll have to rely on higher layers of support (from other countries) in the standard process of support. - slow computers that kills your performance - your eyes will suffer if your desk is near a window or in a place with poor illumination - no compensation, no benefits. You work at night in the prevention and you aren't payed, they tell you to take a rest at the day.

People are not well compensated. Toxic environment, their so called work-life balance is not true, you are almost always required to render overtime. There's a high tendency to get overworked as some teams are undermanned but there are no new hires. Management don't stick to their word, They will promise a fun place to work but in reality, all of these were applicable only 3 years ago. There's no "work and play" environment anymore as they advertise. And despite having having a lot of possible work opportunities, career growth is slow. Things are also going downhill, there's a lot of changes which doesn't please employees.
