Pros

Good Work life balance with flexible work arrangements in many teams. Strong learning opportunities, especially in telecom, cloud, 5G, Linux, Kubernetes, and networking technologies.

Cons

Career progression can be slower compared to startups or fast-growing product companies. Some employees feel innovation moves more slowly than in startups because of the scale and processes involved.

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.
