salary less than other company,New to Nokia culture so still in the process of evaluating the new company,It is not a nice environment to work.New leadership has led to a massive staff reduction and reorganization which seems confusing.

Pros

- Many truly brilliant individual contributors who are technically competent and probably were around when the basic kernels of modern technology were being developed. - People really do love technology at this company. - Depending on your team, you can have decent freedom to explore interesting avenues for ideas and directions. - Seems like the company might be turning around with the latest batch of global leaders.

Cons

- People with actual skill building and developing ideas are often used as the workhorses for people who are good at developing "paper architectures" and ideas. - TC is not competitive, and career growth is slow/non-existent due to saturation at the top. - Constant turnover in leadership, which has led to constant re-organization and layoffs. - Constant internal messaging about how the company is changing moral X or core value Y, which cheapens what the leadership is trying to convey. - Ideas in research and development often never get validated by possible customers in target markets to find product market fit.

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
