Pros

Great work-life balance, the hours are flexible, the pay is slightly above the industry norm here, and the benefits are good.

Cons

The site in Burnaby is closing down. The smartphone business is extremely competitive and it will be difficult for Nokia to dominate the business as it once did.

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.
