Pros

Nokia has a great work-life balance; Nokia's employees are diverse, friendly and always willing to help; Nokia provides fair compensation and excellent benefits; The location and weather in San Diego is hard to beat; It is assuring to know you are working for the top cell phone maker in the world.

Cons

The main issue seems to be that our product always seems to be a step behind the competition. For example, we are only now putting out flip, slide and full qwerty phones, while everyone else has moved on to touch screen technology. By the time our touch screen product is out, the competition will have moved on to the next bigger and better thing.

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.
