Pros

Nice working environment, a lot of talented people around. The benefits are good. Good balance on career and life.

Too large a ship, and takes too much time to change course. Right now facing fierce competition. Has problems on the efficiency of the upper management.

Great company with many great people.

Pros

Great people, great culture. Lot's of very smart people that know what's needed to win and generally people are great to work with. There's a high level of information sharing, and people are always willing to help and share. The new CEO is a definite plus and his focus on accountability is much needed - let's see it implemented.

Cons

Too many reorganizations too frequently. People never get into their role before they get moved. This also means that your job becomes a networking exercise, and day to day business is becoming more about how to keep your job and get the next one, than actually helping Nokia get stuff done and win. Because of this the good talent is leaving Nokia faster than they can find new, i.e. the people who actually know how to win go elsewhere and become competitors best assets.
