Pros

The benefits from Nokia are very good compared to most companies. Nokia picks up the majority of the basic costs for healthcare and matches 401k up to 6% total. Due to distance from Finland, when you start work very early local time, you get flexi-time later in the day to take care of personal business.

Cons

Nokia as a whole is contracting back to Finland. All roles and functions outside of Finland are reduced and even inside Finland there have been reductions. If the company is not successful with the new Windows Phones in the US Market during 2012, then expect further reductions in 2013.
