Pros

Good perks (free mobiles, company-paid mobile bills, internet bills) at all levels.

Good company lease vehicle program.

Great health insurance for the entire family.

Best layoff plans (Bridge Program).

Culture of respect.

Cons

Mad management decisions (the "burning platform" should have never been openly spoken).

CEO OPK's mention of N97 as the iPhone killer.

Stubbornness in Android adoption.

Bringing in Stephen Elop, who turned out to be a mole from Microsoft.

Advice to Management

Should be more aggressive.

Typical Scandinavian chilled-out [approach] won't work in this highly competitive consumer industry. Sad, but the Samsung employee work pressure tactics seem a way to succeed.

Now that only Nokia Networks and HERE Maps are left, sell the latter to Apple and start fresh with the Finnish DNA.
