Pros

1. Flexibility of working hours(sometimes depends on manager) 2. Work from home option (very good for ladies) 3. Most of the managers(barring a few) have technical background, so its easier to express the issues and roadblocks. 4. If you really want to learn, you will learn a lot of things. 5. No team leads to boss over you. Scrum masters are only restricted to facilitate team members and nothing more or less. 6. Easy to route between different different business lines - core platforms, LTE, small cells, femto, Operations & Management.you name it 7. Open for innovative ideas 8. Food and transport is very reasonable compared to other companies in Bangalore. 9. Offers 7:30pm cabs for those who stay late. 10. Checks on women employees who leave office late until they acknowledge they reached home.

Cons

1. Company has gone through lot of reorganizing from Nokia Siemens Networks to Nokia Solutions and Networks to Nokia Networks to now Nokia. So frequent reshuffling was common in 2013-1014 2. Due to losses incurred, perks were removed in 2012-2014, but now again its all looking good. 3. Weekend work needed sometimes during critical releases. 4. They are experimenting a lot with processes so some frequent changes in process could be a bit disappointing for employees.

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.
