Pros

Reasonable work-life balance at many office locations.

Chill Finnish culture.

Cons

Utter failure to compete with other smartphone manufacturers. Their focus was entirely on great supply chain management versus user experience and smartphones. Perpetual layoffs. Some iffy salaries. Stock down 90% in 5 years.

Advice to Management

You should have gone Android instead of trying to "do something different" with Microsoft. You have conceded first place and second place to iOS and Android.
