Nokia

I can’t see any pros currently. Perhaps the flexibility to work from home, but all other tech companies are doing that too.

No competence development plan, no trainings, a huge lack of leadership. Low and middle managers just care about their upper managers and are totally negligent to what is going on below them. As a result, talented people are leaving Nokia every day. Instead of creating a plan to motivate and get the best from collaborators, Global HR created a new policy to “retain” talents. This policy states that if you leave the company before March 31st, the bonus related to the previous year's performance won't be paid.

It is not a momentum for telco companies; competition is high and margins are low. Although Nokia is performing financially well, this won’t be sustained in the medium term because people have lost the motivation to work for Nokia and are leaving.

Low and middle managers have the leadership mindset from the past. They try to lead by authority and don’t care about the people they are leading. This does not match modern leadership and Nokia values.

Train your people, particularly middle management. Bring back Nokia culture and values and make sure they are being practiced.
