Pros

- Flexible working hours (depending on the LM) - Possibility to work from home (depending on the LM) - Payroll is never late

Cons

- Company re-hires employees that left the company few months ago with high salaries while gives 1-2% raise to current employees and high performers. It is suggested that you leave Nokia & come back after 6-8 months. Only then you will get higher salary and respect. - There is no reward of any kind - it is pointless to go the extra mile or support the company beyond your job description - There are many unsuitable Line Managers doing damage to peoples/teams. There is no poor performer plan for them - They will be LMs until retirement. - Upper management is not in place to take actions to fix real issues. Problems are know but trying to hide them under the carpet. - It is impossible to get a position since all positions are already assigned to someone before the go live to Internal Job Market.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
