Pros

Great work life balance, very strong opportunities to move around & up, trustworthy senior mgmt.... the company offers a balanced lifestyle & allows you immense flexibility in designing your work life.. most people are respectful and it is socially unnacceptable in Nokia to be a 'jerk'... career opportunities are plenty and there is scope to reinvent yourself every few years... The company is amazing non heirarchichal, still true to it's Scandinavian roots in that sense...In Nokia, I am in for the long haul...

Cons

compensation needs more thought... the benefits are very good, but the actual pay is not competitive....

Pros

One of the best companies in telecom space, with a potential to rule the new domain of combining devices with servcies + experiences

Cons

too bureaucratic, too "finland" centric, the new structure essentially leads to multitudes of duplication of work (and hence confusion) last but not the least, execution of new strategy is pathetic
