Nokia

Murray Hill was the former base of Alcatel-Lucent, and is now the base of Nokia since the acquisition on Jan 2016. Here, we have Bell Labs and the best telecommunication engineers working around. Either Nokia or Alcatel-Lucent has the tech/engineering in their blood, and the engineers here are nice, not like some software engineers from the financial industry or payment industry (where I have been working before). These telecommunication engineers have a bundle of knowledge in this industry.

Because of Huawei's rise, Nokia, Cisco, Ericsson, and the previous Alcatel-Lucent are all losing their percentage of this industry. Some departments in Nokia may be cutting jobs now; for example, the previous wireless department of Alcatel-Lucent might be cut off since the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent by Nokia.

Hire more young developers and engineers for Nokia.

This telecommunications industry is not a sunrise industry, but it's also not a sunset one.

Many of the engineers, especially the hardware engineers, have been working in this field since the 1970s and 1980s, actually since the telecom industry existed.

Once these experienced engineers retire, there won't be enough back-up for the company and for this industry.

However, we still have a lot in the future, such as 5G and IoT.
