Pros

At NSN you are seen as an individual and you are supported on your personal growth. NSN has a great focus on innovation, quality products and building interesting stuff

Cons

As any other big company, the salaries are balanced on what there is on the market and you don't get a very high salary. You may need to work with several different people and although the average competence level is pretty good, in so many people there are some not that good.
