Nokia

great place for fresh grads.

Trainings and opportunities for self-development, though this depends on the manager.

Not much stress and a good work atmosphere, also depending on the manager.

Big, well-regarded, stable company.

• Depends on the project, but usually lots of maintenance work and bug fixing.
• Dependency on higher management in distant places, many meaningless telecom meetings, and other corpo-like elements.
• Low salary growth rate.

Trying too hard to please very demanding clients, by letting them have too much influence on the work of developers, may hurt morale, cost too much time and effort, and simply turn out not to be worth it.
