Pros

One of the best companies in telecom space, with a potential to rule the new domain of combining devices with servcies + experiences

Cons

too bureaucratic, too "finland" centric, the new structure essentially leads to multitudes of duplication of work (and hence confusion) last but not the least, execution of new strategy is pathetic

Business Outlook

Pros

The Work-Life balance at Nokia is the greatest draw. They understand the correlation between work and life; how a well balanced life with family and friends promotes and replenishes one to be ready to work each day. I never felt overworked, yet a lot was accomplished.

Cons

Nokia is a well oiled machine running at an incredible pace. It is very difficult to make significant changes in the engineering design and business model. Worker input seems ineffectual most of the time. Compensation is slightly below average.
