Process
It was for an FPGA tester position. One hour of technical questions, and then HR. I didn't get the job. First, I was doing an online test on Codility, then they phoned me and told me that there would be a 2-hour-long interview after a week.

Good for the start of your career, but absolutely not for staying long

Pros: - People are nice and helpful.
- It's a good company to start your career as a student.
Cons: Pay raises are very small or even zero. So you earn less due to inflation. It makes no sense to me that new hires often earn more than experienced employees.
Your project can be moved to another team or country with very short warning, so you are forced to move to something else (even to a different programming language that you don't know).
I didn't feel impressed by Nokia's approach to work from home. The company refused to fund home office equipment like ergonomic chairs.
