Vindictive and bully management and team leads.

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some pockets run by nice people with normal WLB.

Cons

No WFH for a lot of teams. Management is comprised of lifers that have formed a clique together with some team leads. They are vindictive and bullies. Yelling and sarcasm in meetings. Subpar equipment. Old tech stacks with zero market value. This is a technologist elephant graveyard for the most part. Way less than average pay.

Business Outlook

Pros

Employee-friendly company Company policies are good, like providing day care support for the kids (up to 6 years of age) for women employees, so that women can come back to work early after maternity leave, and there are a lot of learning opportunities inside Nokia, but you need to have good circle of friends so that you can get to know about the opportunities

Cons

Work is monotonous, the same kind of work you will be doing for years There is a delay in promotion after the JG9. It may take more that 7-8 years to reach JG10 and also you may not get the kind of work for the experience you have

Business Outlook

Pros

Great and solid company with a strong brand. Reasonable salary and benefits.

Cons

As most companies, HR is just for the bureaucracy and paper work, not care for the human being, employee. Very long hierarchy making the communication flow and decisions difficult. Strategy is not clear and change a lot from time to time.
