Pros

The working time is VERY flexible. There are also lot of leisure facilities. No overtime needed.

Cons

The salary is an average (or below average) without any increase or well defined career path to follow, so I'd rather not recommend it to newcomers. There have been many layoffs recently, so there are no bonuses at all. The senior management is also quite clumsy, the last three years were disastrous (I write this in 2013)

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.
