Business Outlook

Pros

Nice facilities to work... Ability to work with new handsets and technology...

Cons

Poor growth potential.... Too much internal politics between North America and Finland... No direct feedback mechanism built in for doing a good job, of course when you don't do things right - feedback is quick. Flexibility to move internally within working groups is impossible, unless you are in one of the major facilities......
