Nokia is one of the best places I've worked!

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are great and it's a very flexible place to work. Employees become great friends. Endless learning and training programs available to all employees. A corporate benefits package that is unmatched by other companies in the same industry.

Cons

Long work hours, especially leading up to product launches. Internal department transfers can be long and difficult Annual raises barely meet inflation/cost of living increases. Career advancement is not supported well. Because of it's very flat oranization structure, mid-level managers stay in their current positions for a long time. Nokia is not a place for "corporate ladder climbers".

Great place to work with motivated and energetic people, although ideas are often left unheard

Business Outlook

Pros

The Work-Life balance at Nokia is the greatest draw. They understand the correlation between work and life; how a well balanced life with family and friends promotes and replenishes one to be ready to work each day. I never felt overworked, yet a lot was accomplished.

Cons

Nokia is a well oiled machine running at an incredible pace. It is very difficult to make significant changes in the engineering design and business model. Worker input seems ineffectual most of the time. Compensation is slightly below average.
