Nokia is not bad to work for, but it's defiantly a sinking ship. Not a winner

Pros

Some nice, smart people.

Good salary when they actually paid bonuses.

Nice facilities and location.

Cons

Anti-American bias, even at the Silicon Valley office.

The bias does not result in a hostile workplace.

Generally, they are nice people, but you can't succeed beyond your little box there unless you are Finnish.

You will notice this especially among the engineers.

When a non-Finnish person goes for a posted role, they may get an informal chat, but then the role gets closed and reopened with a slightly different description, and a young man from Finland shows up with the job.

The game is rigged against you.

Do your job, keep your head down, and the world is good.

There is not a culture of throwing people under the bus.
