Pros

Great ability to move to different parts of the business.

Nokia invests heavily in training employees (great for junior staff).

Diversity is valued.

Cons

Way too much process that affects the ability to deliver products and hire and retain talent.

Centralized technology organizations that stifle creativity and velocity.

Poor quality talent in low-cost centers, especially for organizations like product support.

Advice to Management

There are many entire organizations that could just be eliminated and replaced with a few talented engineers.

The true cost of sending work to low-cost centers never makes it into the equation, but having so many boat anchors really slows down the people who are trying to move the ship forward.
