Pros

Working globally. Learning new cultures. The people that work at Nokia are amazing people. Friendly, and many have experience that can help a person grow and expand their knowledge in the telecommunications industry.

Cons

Constant downsizing and restructuring of organizations. Too many layoffs, creating over-worked employees. Nokia is slow to market with their products. They wait for the competition to launch a product, then copy that technology. Nokia is focused on the Finnish way of doing business. They seem uninterested in North America and the US based customers. They are more focused on European, Latin America and India. Where they make the most money on cheap phones.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
