Pros: good benefits, work life balance
Cons: no advancement opportunities, management

The best part of the job are the relationships with customers and colleagues. The hardest part is convincing both internal and external parties to reach a compromise position allowing all parties to accomplish their goals. There are additional challenges in dealing with global (international) management/leadership and their unwillingness to understand – more... the specific customer and marketplace needs and requirements. – less

Fun and fair place to work
Process Compliance Lead (Former Employee), Irving, TX – May 28, 2013
My time at Nokia was my most memorable employer because I basically matured into the person I am today because of my colleagues and superiors at Nokia. I enjoyed going to work everyday while I was there, and although it was unfortunate that I was laid off; my parting with Nokia was pleasant and professional. I would like to someday find my way back – more... to Nokia. – less

Constant reshuffling of the deck chairs
Director (Current Employee), Helsinki, F19 – April 3, 2013
Pros: ample holiday, beautiful country
Cons: poor quality management, lack of employee development
An odd mix of competent and incompetent management including (still) too many old school Nokians who have been around for decades. Massive cuts have made the company leaner, but still thinks too much like a monolithic entity - slow to make decisions, answer is always to throw more people at problems rather than simplify, unwilling to make terminations – more... transparent and thus self-defeating on efforts to increase accountability.

That said, compensation and recognition for the top talent is extremely good, culturally a good place to work with a lot of trust and integrity, and work hours which are reasonable given the state of the company.

If they complete the upgrade of the management and senior leadership, and actually execute on the longer term strategies (which are good), it'll be a great place to work. – less

Real "iffy"
Maintenance Tech (Former Employee), Fort Worth, Texas – March 23, 2013
Pros: steady work.
Cons: fear of plant closing.
The "Bottom Line" was all that counted. If Nokia could make money by closing a plant, that's what they did with the Fort Worth plant.

Fantastic
Board Assembly Specialist (Former Employee), Fort Worth, Tx – March 19, 2013
Working for Nokia was my first opportunity being apart of the corporate sector. During my tenure, I was promoted a total of six (6) times. They were firm believers of promoting from within and took very, very good care of their employees. Nokia was a delightful company to work for.

A great place to work.
Global Marketing Analyst (Former Employee), UK – February 28, 2013
Pros: team work, good work-life balance
Cons: travel distance and time
Nokia is a workplace where you can explore your skills to the fullest. Colleagues and management respect your point of view and an informed approach is taken by the management. Even when we knew we were being made redundant, the main thing what I learnt was that, no matter how difficult the times were, we need to keep our spirits and our morals high – more... and continue to perform until the last hour, plan how we can sail through the storm rather than panic in vain. People are recruited based on their ability to perform and hand picked from every part of the world, you can therefore see a great cultural mix and harmony. It is like an entire world sitting on the same office floor. The toughest part of the job is saying 'No' to anyone. Colleagues are so friendly and co-operative that denying any request to anyone is a herculean task. Most enjoyable part of the job would be the Friday meetup for drinks and lunch outs where anyone from any team would join and in a short span of time you would know many people across the workplace. – less

Traffic Incident
Editor (Current Employee), Chicago, IL – February 19, 2013
Pros: free fruit, benefits, great pay
Cons: short breaks, too much downtime
I've learned a lot about the world of traffic. Learning how to utilize government resources and social media has been a great learning experience. I do find myself with a lot of downtime. This can be useful to use the time to work on projects that have been pushed to the side.

Cell One, Performance Engineer (Former Employee), State of Montana – February 12, 2013
Good place to work. I was able to learn about Nokia GSM cell site equipment. Co-workers were good. The draw back to this job was not much technical training. All skills were learned on the job and through co workers.

I work for a great team
Executive Assistant/ Special Projects Manager (Current Employee), Cupertino, CA – February 1, 2013
I believe I am a perfect candidate for an administrative or project coordination position. I am tenacious and always motivated to take the initiative—I am a self-starter with exceptional follow-through skills. Moreover, I have the ability and willingness to handle multiple, complex projects, tasks, and assignments in a fast paced, deadline driven environment. – more... Additionally, I am very comfortable working independently and as part of a larger, cross-functional team. Most importantly, I pride myself on being highly organized, detailed-oriented, and analytical—I am a proactive problem solver. Thankfully, working for Apple’s Retail Development and Nokia’s Global Partner Application Development divisions has strengthened my organizational skills, sharpened my eye for details, and honed my professional skills. – less
