Pros

Good pay, good benefits, great work/life balance and flexibility, really good PTO. Coworkers are friendly and helpful and first couple levels of management are very understanding and competent.

Cons

Been lots of leadership turnover and what's felt like 5 or 6 internal reorganizations. Leadership doesn't inspire tons of confidence and people can be concerned about layoffs. Raises are variable, some years goods, some years not. Structure and opportunities for advancement are vague.

Pros

The core technologists and Bell Labs are great to work with. As a Finland based company, their benefits packages are better than benefits from typical American companies.

Cons

The brain drain in Operations and OSS is shocking and only getting worse. Salespeople are lying to customers to make sales happen, only to further embarrass everyone involved with incompetent delivery. The push for Data Center and the $1Billion Nvidia investment for AI-in-Everything makes Nokia the latest "Tech Bro", AI-First disaster.
