Pros

New Technology - You can find exciting technology to work on.

Leading Edge -

Nice People - The people respect each other, but when it comes to survival... good luck.

Good Benefits - 401(k) matching, health, and vacations are good.

Cons

Making change for the sake of change every six months. Nokia is trying to have the perfect staff, so they go through changes (layoffs) every six to twelve months. It does not work; look at the stock performance. They lay people off and buy companies to gain ground in some technology. It is very risky to work for such a company. If you don't work in Finland, forget it.

Advice to Management

You can lay people off, but what comes around goes around. Try to rethink the overall strategy of a perfect race; it will always backfire.
