Pros

They value work-life balance and treat their employees well. They offer a good benefits package and depending on the team you work for, there are opportunities for growth.

Cons

The company cannot get out of its own way. The Finnish employees dominate all ranks of management and the only reason they come to the SF Bay Area is to recruit engineers and students. There is very little support for non-Fin VPs or Senior Management. We'll see if they'll be around long enough for Elop to change that.

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.
