Pros

Nokia supports a great work life balance. Respectful of personal time. I've heard stories of Nokia being an awesome place to work in the past. I only worked there for 5 years of declining market share. It was not a great place due to the business problems - therefore salary increases were minimal.

Cons

Waste money. Ineffective organizational structure. Does not empower divisions to take advantage of opportunities. Does not understand the US market.

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.
