Nokia Siemens Networks Reviews in Redmond, WA

Pros

- Good salary and benefits
- Highly technical work
- Limited constraints on getting work done - ability to do what's right and needed
- Work / life balance affected by customer issues (cyclical), not bad management - no complaints
- Very diverse group - in most meetings no one person is from the same country

Cons

- "yes men". We give our customers everything they ask for, then wonder why the bottom line is in the red.
- Similar to above, we probably provide the most hand-holding support to a customer of any vendor. This is a cause of high employee stress.
- Many internal groups simply ignore work, even their own. If you own the response/solution, it's up to you to find another avenue to get it. No accountability for people or entire teams not pulling their weight.
- ATT buyout of TMO US, rumors of Nokia and Siemens ending their partnerhsip, and upper management departures are causing concerns about the future.

Advice to Senior Management

Accountability. It is unacceptable that some teams can ignore their duties since they are not customer facing and likely some other group will have to resolve.

Pros

Nokia Siemens Networks is consistenly on the leading edge of technology and our employees are some of the brightest people in the industry. Working with new features and functionality is always challenging and often very rewarding. Working with intelligent and dedicated colleagues makes the journey that much better.

Cons

Our opportunities for advancement, while often international, are somewhat limited, and communication from Executive Management tends to be extremely criptic in nature. Because of these two factors, planning for career advancement becomes an exercise in who you know, not necessarily what you know.

Advice to Senior Management

Please be more transparent about the performance of the company, and continue to put people first.
