Bad leadership throughout, all the way from CEO level.
People on management level are not thriving for real change in this ever-changing and competitive environment. Companies always implement changes, but these changes only affect people on the bottom the most. People on the top are just playing musical chairs, swapping roles.
Management are rarely responsible for any bad decisions they have made. They stay in their jobs, whereas engineers are blamed by being laid off.
Bad salary to start with. The average yearly pay rise was about 1-3%. This is pathetic.
Managers are selfish, only caring about their own promotion.
Need to replace everyone on the executive board. Nokia is already a sinking ship, and yet these so-called leaders on the executive board still think they can weather the storm like they did 10 years ago. Apple, Google, and others were not there 10 years ago, but now things have changed.
Quick phone screen and an online coding test. Then, a general technical interview with a few easy HR-type questions about interests, previous projects, working in a team, and motivation, etc.
A 7-round, in-person interview. It was the most grueling and felt pointless because of how repetitive it was. Both system design and LeetCode-style questions were asked. Most interviewers were friendly, but I did not think it was worth going through
This was a 3-hour whiteboard session. It was heavily focused on the technical side only. Questions were a mix of classic software engineering and applying principles in their use case.
