Pros

Established groups from Motorola helps in keeping the technology drive and operation core to remain effective. Certain leadership core maintains structual focus on the customer advocacy.

Cons

Lack of support on the IT and business operations - quite antiquated and needs to catch up on tools and processes.

Nokia india working environment, growth and salaries

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nokia work environment is quite good, it gives you independence to work. Work-life balance is very good. You will never feel any pressure at work. Nokia Salaries are quite good, comparable to other internet companies like Yahoo

Cons

Nokia India is another typical MNC which treats its own India center as "services company". i.e very fragmented work comes to Bangalore. Main control still stays in Finland. So, whenever there is downturn, the teams that get cut are from India. The downside of higher salaries is that it makes difficult to get another job outside of Nokia as your salaries will be above average and the opportunities shrink
