No career growth opportunity in Irving, but great if you are in Finland
No career growth opportunity in Irving, but great if you are in Finland
Smart people to work with, great benefits. Fun/interesting technologies and products to work on.
Below average pay, no headcount growth, thus no chance for advancement. The company focuses on retaining their Finnish employees and really doesn't care about their US employees. Constant threat of being offshored or jobs sent back to Finland. Schedules are unrealistic, and you must work overtime the whole year to make schedule. Five years ago, Nokia really focused on work/life balance. Since 2006, in Irving, work/life balance has gone completely out the window. You get 4-5 weeks vacation (good) but can never take it due to constant schedule pressure (bad).
Grow the Irving site; don't only focus on Finland.
Give pay increases above 2 percent.
Get the work/life balance you used to have before 2006. Now the work/life balance is gone at Nokia in Irving.
