Above-average benefits and Work/Life balance are the only exceptional things about working for Nokia

Pros

Work/Life Balance... you can pretty much name your own hours and people come and go as they please much of the time. Benefit are good versus the competition, at least they were back when I joined.

Cons

The Irving campus is so far from Finland sometimes it seems we might as well be a 3rd party. There's very little training made available to employees. You can never travel anymore, even if it would really help the project. No one wants to spend the money. There's pretty much no leadership in Irving... just a bunch of small groups banded together in the same office building. The working environment is "open"... a bunch of short-walled cubes that makes it easy to sit around and chat, hard to get work done.

No career growth oppotunity in Irving, but great if you are in Finland

Pros

Smart people to work with, great benefits. Fun/interesting technologies and products to work on.

Cons

Below average pay, no headcount growth thus no chance for advancement. The company focuses on retaining their Finish employees and they really don't care about their US employees. Constant threat of being offshored or jobs sent back to Finland. Schedules are unrealistic and you must work over time the whole year to make schedule. Five years ago, Nokia really focuses on work/life balance. Since 2006, in Irving, work/life balance went completely out the window. You get 4-5 weeks vacation (good) but can never take it due to constant schedule pressure (bad).
