Pros

Worked in the Vic office. There were some genuinely good and friendly staff.

Cons

Worked ther for 3 months, company failed to pay me. Nokia has NO Management or leaders, the result is no direction or strategy. Political correctness takes precedence over the success of projects, naturally there are some women who don't hesitate to abuse it and turn their workplace into a bloodbath, HR will always back them, even if you record them lying and screaming abuse at others making the office environment hell on earth. Everything is outsourced to India or China, all of the skilled staff that once steered the ship have left, now the company is run by 3rd world people delivering a 3rd world service/product. You WILL work 12-14 hour days to correct the poor work delivered by these 3rd world countries.

Pros

The core technologists and Bell Labs are great to work with. As a Finland based company, their benefits packages are better than benefits from typical American companies.

Cons

The brain drain in Operations and OSS is shocking and only getting worse. Salespeople are lying to customers to make sales happen, only to further embarrass everyone involved with incompetent delivery. The push for Data Center and the $1Billion Nvidia investment for AI-in-Everything makes Nokia the latest "Tech Bro", AI-First disaster.
