Pros

When Nokia was truly a Finnish company the transparency, innovation and fun was high. Very little hierarchy and people could be assured that their ideas mattered.

Cons

Paranoia, self-delusion, and desperation…that is the current mood. Though there are still some very good people in the company but many have left. Senior management is often Microsoft castoffs.
