Pros

The work-life balance at Nokia is the greatest draw. They understand the correlation between work and life; how a well-balanced life with family and friends promotes and replenishes one to be ready to work each day. I never felt overworked, yet a lot was accomplished.

Cons

Nokia is a well-oiled machine running at an incredible pace. It is very difficult to make significant changes in the engineering design and business model. Worker input seems ineffectual most of the time. Compensation is slightly below average.

Advice to Management

Listen to the people at the bottom; they're the ones implementing all of your ideas and know best whether or not one thing is feasible versus another.
