Nokia

The company offers alright starting compensation and decent benefits.

It fosters a respectful, down-to-earth culture among engineers and sets more or less reasonable expectations for them.

Work is usually paced well, and there is rarely an expectation to do overtime and such.

If you're happy with doing things quickly and getting tickets out the window, you'll be just fine here.

You have to be happy with doing things quickly, getting tickets out the window and forgetting about them, because there are pretty much no opportunities for personal development and growth.

You're expected to do 'the job', not 'a better job each day', because the former earns the company money more immediately. I mean, it's a megacorp, and it shows.

Working here, you're stuck with a bunch of inefficient tools and slow processes. Decision making is a mix of top-down and "I'll talk to that other team about it".

You'll see either an allergic reaction or a laugh from your colleagues any time you mention 'documentation'. True to the meme, you'll spend a bunch of time in useless meetings that could've been an email or simply take too long. And good luck and godspeed if you want to improve your everyday working environment.
