Pros

Good work/life balance and diversity culture

Cons

Not innovative. Low salaries. No career progression opportunities. Old people stuck in obsolete methodologies. Very bad management with threatens and imposing fear in its employers some times. A lot of changes in the hierarchy in a very short time. The top management favors always people and ex-colleagues from other companies, rather than people already representing Nokia for years or even decades. Constant talk about AI because it is buzzword but no action in that direction. I can't recommend it that much in the present, unfortunately.

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.
