Pros
Nokia has one of the best commitments to work-life balance I've ever experienced. The benefits package is at least comparable with the best, and it includes medical insurance. There are some really good people working here.
Cons
Despite the presence of many good people, there is a lot of dead wood here. I would estimate that about a third of Nokia staff don't really do anything of value. However this is likely to change now that many people are being made redundant. In relation to those redundancies, it seems quite clear that the ones who are favoured and retain their jobs are the Finns. Since it's Finns who decide, mainly, who gets to keep their job and who doesn't, this looks more than a little bit racist to the non-Finns who work here. Nokia is now beginning to catch up in smartphones but marketing seems inadequate. We're almost completely off the radar everywhere I look.
