Pros

Good work-life balance in most cases. Average salaries compared to other companies in the industry. No problems with payments, even in extreme cases of capital controls. Raises are tiny and unimportant.

Cons

Most projects include legacy, very hard-to-maintain code.

Languages used are mostly proprietary Nokia, while modern software engineering techniques are ignored or not known at all.

Managers are, at most, not at all technically experienced and also have trouble managing their staff.

Employees are overestimated, and others underestimated.

Advice to Management

Learn how to handle your people.

They are people and not just resources.

Better judgment on how and where to distribute your team members.

Better understanding of your job description.
