Nokia

Employee-friendly company.

Company policies are good, like providing day care support for the kids (up to 6 years of age) for women employees, so that women can come back to work early after maternity leave. There are a lot of learning opportunities inside Nokia, but you need to have a good circle of friends so that you can get to know about the opportunities.

Work is monotonous; it's the same kind of work you will be doing for years.

There is a delay in promotion after JG9. It may take more than 7-8 years to reach JG10, and you may not get the kind of work that matches your experience.

Politics is more at the management level; for example, favorites get promotions, and they receive better work so that they can move ahead in their career.

One piece of advice for management is that job roles can be aligned based on experience and capabilities, and opportunities should be given so that employees can have diverse experiences. Also, regular feedback should be given to employees. Even though there is a process to give feedback every 90 days, it hardly happens with due seriousness.
