Pros

Good salary and package.

Good line managers.

State-of-the-art facility and tools.

Great multi-cultural people and background colleagues.

Cons

Not winning enough important projects. Not profitable. Do they know how to run a company for profit or not? Very disorganized. Work weekends and nights. Work scheduling is improper. Job future is unknown. Soldier on. Increment was not given due to the fact I was asked to give it to those more deserving. Those who didn't negotiate well before joining; we have to suffer for them. Too many reorganizations and policies keep changing. (Given the excuse that the world is changing, deal with it). Not enough training given. Forced to support and be on-call without proper documents and training.

Advice to Management

Sometimes taking something straight out of an MBA textbook is not the answer. Companies need passion. We have the R&D and state-of-the-art technology to give groundbreaking solutions to customers.

It's time to shock and awe the telecom world and show what NSN can do.
