Pros

Love being able to tinker with a lot of research ideas and then develop them into applications that are relevant for the industry. NRC provides a stimulating place for research without being in a cut-throat environment that only rewards how much code gets into production.

Cons

The company is not doing too well at the moment and a lot of question marks about it future.

Pros

original culture of the Nokia pre-Elop is a really good one, and many employees you speak too would have no problems retiring in Nokia. Benefits are very competitive and probably difficult to find elsewhere

Cons

depending on your manager, you can have a wonderful life, or a hellish one, just luck
