Nokia

• It is not a strict environment in several ways. There are some managers that support their team, but this is a minority.

• Working from home is okay without being pushed to go to the office.

Management (low & high level) does not support people's efforts in any way, financially and in all other ways.

Upper management most of the times takes advantage of employees who are involved in side projects – tasks not related to the business but are related to the local site. This creates an illusion of extra mile and "best effort" work that leads to exploitation, with no reward of any kind.

The majority of the line managers are not supposed to deal with people and carriers. It is the first time I saw totally incapable managers trying to handle excellent engineers. As a result, Nokia Athens lost many excellent engineers and got stuck with poor performers and average performance employees. If you try to speak up & raise possible issues, most probably you will get into a "black list".

50% of the working environment is not suitable for employees. One of the 2 buildings is totally not meant to host people.

The company has great tolerance to political parties and all kind of surreal political actions. You can do whatever you want (emails, working station visits, etc.) and no one will stop you.

They need to focus on people and their needs. Definitely try to deal with bad line managers. No manager during the last 10+ years has ever been removed from their duties. It's sad.
