Nokia

Culture.

Everyone respects each other.

Access to cutting-edge technologies and enormous opportunity for any innovations.

Hard work will be recognized and will reflect on the paycheck.

Not much politics; if you contribute, you grow. Have an idea? You will have avenues to showcase.

Excellent work-life balance. No strict timings.

• No freebies. Tea and coffee taste like drainage. No free lunch or snacks. No Sodexos either.
• In the name of cost cutting, they cut down everything from beverages to daily allowances for onsite travel.
• Although salary packages are decent, there is nothing great to write home about.
• Lazy and incompetent finance team. They make terrible mistakes even while crediting your salary, and you need to keep following up with a hundred emails.
• Infrastructure needs to scale up. It feels like working in some railway station with so many people on the floor. Seating arrangements need drastic improvements, along with other office supplies.

• Share the profits. The company is a classic example of the saying, "The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer!" (almost).
