Pros

Nokia is an innovative company, with a good reputation and standing. I am constantly being given greater responsibility, and I feel that Nokia will support my career progression. In my position, I am always exposed to interesting new technologies, and I feel like i am helping the world progress. Managements attitudes to staff, certainly at a professional level, are very good, and I feel that I am listened to if I have problems. They are also very flexible, and accomodating to an individuals personal needs

Cons

communication is often quite poor, and the method used to calculate bonuses is a bit arbitrary. There is also quite a lot of unneccessary travel to meetings, which could be much more efficient.

Pros

It has a great culture, especially from the Nokia lineage. the company promotes people based on their performance, their eagerness to contribute to the organisation and their capabilities. NSN lays a lot of emphasis on learning and career councilling. The employee is free to choose the training courses he would like to attend to boost his domain knowledge/skills. At times, such trainings are also mandatory and therefore need to be taken on a mandatory basis.
