Nokia reviews

Lack of focus in company since merger between Nokia Networks and Siemens Communications in 2007...integregation of the 2 companies has been difficult especially while under threat of stiff market competition globally and decreasing margins.

Organization is biased in favor of young white, northern European males, particularly those from Finland and to a lessor degree from Germany. Job requirements as well as performance measures are not applied to this group. Likewise product development is very Euro-centric, presenting problems for implementation elsewhere. There is almost no real skill in services management. Project and program management are extremely immature. Few standard objective measures set by management. There has been a criminal investigation of corruption and wrong doing in the ex-Siemens operations. There continue to be struggles with anti-corruption and ethics. It is a company of administrators, not leaders.
