Not good: Nokia Tech in Sunnyvale

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary, friendly team, nice office that is close to Caltrain. Pretty flexible work environment in regards to time off, etc. Smart teammates.

Cons

No clear direction of the company. Awful leadership. Acquisition of Withings has been a disaster that led to a year's worth of hard work being scrapped. Part of a big company, but none of the benefits of that (HR is a joke, e.g., benefits enrollment was done on a piece of paper).

Business Outlook

Pros

- steady job - a lot of things to do - but not especially challenging if you end up in a wrong project - money is always on time

Cons

Kraków location is a low cost center with all its disadvantages: - a lot of people are leaving the company because of: - low salaries (comparing to the market in Kraków) - student driven development (because of the reasons mentioned above) - managers who do not fit their roles - used up office space - second building across town (!) only because it is the cheapest offering possible - new chairs (Wrocław center was disposing their old ones so we got them )
