Company in a death spiral

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salaries, normal stress level for a technology company of its size. Sometimes, the splendors of the great times shine through, with fancy meeting rooms, fancy saunas in the wildnerness, for those lucky to see that.

Cons

Nokia was once a great place to work, but with all the strategy "adjustments" and constant layoffs, all the people that made the company great left. What's left is people clinging to their jobs, hoping not to be in the next batch who has to leave.
