Business Outlook

Pros

- Very good work-life balance (sometimes more towards the life side!) - A good eco system integrated well into the head quarters (Finland)

Cons

- Rampant recruitment by lowering the quality bars at every level (from senior management to software engineers) - I have worked with software engineers who could not write a 'for loop' properly at Nokia Bangalore; no idea how they got recruited - Poor leadership and management skills of middle level managers - who have been recruited from services companies and who's mindset has not changed from viewing the headquarters (Finland) as just a 'client' - Poor accountability due to frequent re-organizations
