Mediocre technology company stifled by product management.

Business Outlook

Pros

The problem domain is quite interesting. There are people withing the organization that realize the problems with the current culture and are trying to change it.

Cons

Product decisions are made by a team with little technical understanding of the product based on attempting to juggle every single customer whim. This causes lots of priority shuffling and unfeasible release schedules, while the product suffers due to technical debt and neglect of basic issues.

Business Outlook

Pros

Ambitious goals to become a leading telco vendor Broad technology base Global player People know the Nokia name

Cons

A lot of thier internal processes are confused due to aquiring Alcatel-Lucent and Siemens. They've made key posistions redundant, leaving responsibility voids. A lot of former Alcatel-Lucent employees are underpaid. Former ALU staff in Australia have been trying to have thier EPA updated with new Nokia only to have Nokia try immature heavy handed bargaining tactics to remove benefits.
