Pros

If you are experienced in telecom, Nokia is one of the 5 makers. You can get to work on the latest and greatest. Get to work with customers.

Cons

For the US staff, there are limited opportunities in the Wireless/Mobile area. They have been actively moving jobs overseas to contain costs. In the software development ladder, you are not likely to make progress in the US. Other non-software development, but technical areas like customer support and product delivery, do have projects, but they seem to be also reducing staff. Sure, there are some software areas where work has not moved overseas or is too complex to be moved. Other than those areas, you are not likely to make career progress.

Advice to Management

With Huawei facing a lot of regulatory difficulties in the US, it's hard to see that management has not leveraged such opportunities.
