Decent company to work for with ongoing transforming still clearly present

Business Outlook

Pros

Fair employer, plenty of possibilities in different areas. Competitive company in the market allows more possibilities. Plenty of traveling for those who like it. Global company with fair treatment of employees. Decent salary level if working outside of Finland atleast.

Cons

Merge with S and N is still ongoing, plenty of politics come to place as companies work very differently in past as separate entities. Company selected Nokia model in most processes leading some unhappiness from ex-S side. Costs are kept low and training possibilities are lacking. As company is only 2 years old there is lot of movement in different positions.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very virtual work environment, employees can work from home as needed, decent suite of tools available to to support work at home.

Cons

Work life balance is defined as working all the time and keeping your family last on your list. When there are cuts, all sites outside of Finland take deeper cuts than in Finland. Despite claims by Nokia that there is a secondary world headquarters in the U.S., the power base remains in Finland.
