      No place to be if you want a career beyond this company.

      Pros

      Expectations are not very high, and as long as you're willing to accept below-average compensation you can coast for years. You can attend internal training regularly, and some of it is pretty good. Benefits are average or slightly better.

      Cons

      Reorganizations every few months; can't finish anything before plans are changed. Schedules are missed because of constant changes in requirements. Above a certain level, anybody is permitted to "rethink the whole approach" and does. Thus we're two years late and still slipping.

      Pros

      Industry leader, Looks good on resume. Good work life balance. Management allows flexible time and work from home. Salary and Benefits OK.

      Cons

      Very limited growth opportunities in US. Company mostly takes care of its Finnish employees. They are hand picked for promotion and attractive jobs. Top leaders of the company are almost all finnish. Hard to call it a global company. Most decisions are taken from Finland even for local projects. Nokia still doesn't have a US strategy or US market oriented products and no collaboration with US operators. Career advancement is largely based on how you build relationship with Finnish managers and not based on merit or performance. There are many incompetent managers who somehow hold on to their jobs since company hardly looks at managerial performance.

      Pros

      Still doing very well compared to competitors, no need to worry about loosing job if you do your job decently. Excellent place to work if you don't have family.

      Cons

      Nokia has a top class HR that really knows how to use stick and carrot. Disconnecting families. No salary rises even if Job Grade is rising. Really unmotivating place to work for any innovative person.
