Pros: Good people to learn from.

Cons: You have to deal with politics sometimes.

Pros: - Great work culture - Free lunch at the office for 3 days - Lots of learning and exposure

Cons: Some downsides at Nokia are zero.

Pros: Nokia is a very good place to work. They always plan things ahead of time, like effort estimation and hours needed to complete a certain feature. If someone is stuck somewhere in his/her task, then the colleagues help them. I don't know about others, but at least my team conducts an evening sync just to solve any blockers the team members might be facing. The people and company policies are respectful. There's no use of any kind of harsh language. In times of WFH, I found my department to be lenient enough to allow stepping away from work for 1-2 hours.

Cons: Nokia introduced a hybrid/remote working model in 2022. The catch is that employees must reside in the same state as the job location. If someone truly needs to work fully remotely, they must discuss it with their second-line manager, and people will only be allowed to work fully remotely if there is a business need. For freshers with 0 years of experience, there is the Graduate Engineer Trainee post. The work is good, but the compensation is not.
