Pros

The Work-Life balance at Nokia is the greatest draw. They understand the correlation between work and life; how a well balanced life with family and friends promotes and replenishes one to be ready to work each day. I never felt overworked, yet a lot was accomplished.

Cons

Nokia is a well oiled machine running at an incredible pace. It is very difficult to make significant changes in the engineering design and business model. Worker input seems ineffectual most of the time. Compensation is slightly below average.

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.
