Nokia review...

Engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nokia has a great work-life balance; Nokia's employees are diverse, friendly and always willing to help; Nokia provides fair compensation and excellent benefits; The location and weather in San Diego is hard to beat; It is assuring to know you are working for the top cell phone maker in the world.

Cons

The main issue seems to be that our product always seems to be a step behind the competition. For example, we are only now putting out flip, slide and full qwerty phones, while everyone else has moved on to touch screen technology. By the time our touch screen product is out, the competition will have moved on to the next bigger and better thing.

Pros

Great work/life balance, open corporate culture and communication, exciting products and global career opportunities.

Cons

Can have heavy travel requirements - frequent trips to Europe and possibly Asia, depending on position. Nokia's products remain very weak in the US and the company continues to spin its wheels in this market.
