Pros

Poeple are nice and friendly Good pension package in the US

Cons

Cutting salaries and benefits - Lays off its best people and then rehires them at a lower salary - They don't increase pay when relocating, only reduce it - Promised benefits are nearly impossible to get approved, and then usually come in less than promised Lack of career progression opportunities - Company does not punish failure or reward success. Some people work 24/7 and still have to fight for recognition. - Many people are lifers who've been with the company for 20 years in the same role and expect the same for everyone else - Raises with promotions or increased responsibilities are few and very small if at all Culture going in the wrong direction - People are becoming more impersonal and disconnected with remote work - Decisions that appear detrimental are made without explanation - Poor work life balance. As the company continues to lay off people more work is thrown onto the people that remain. - Upper management is very political. They do not answer questions directly or provide any clear direction.

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.
