Pros

technology leader (almost), friendly atmosphere. Respect for people's personal needs, managers try to match company's needs with employee's preferrences when assining jobs. Well equipped labs. Open relations with managers. Not much pressure, no micromanagenet. Good bennefit package, but salaries somewhat stalled in past few years. Equal treatment. Considerate and knowledgeable middle management.

Cons

A bit constrained tech-wise as there is (at least in Van) only one line of HW products, namely cell phones. In that sense, there is somewhat modest room for innovation and creativity. Sometimes slow to respond to market trends. Some mid-managers are technicaly competent, but sleezy and incapable of leading organizing a simple meeting, let alone a team.

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.
