Pros
The leader in the telecom industry Innovative designs Good training opportunities Opportunities to travel overseas Opportunities to make real difference to product lifecycle Strong participation in all major standardization bodies Good cooperation from NSN for testing new technologies
Cons
It still remains a "Finnish" company All of the major decision are still made in Helsinki Emphasis on US market is minimal Glass ceiling - most of major senior positions are given to Finnish folks Needs to lead better - not only from technological, but from strategy perspective. Needs better partnership and JV Not-invented-Here syndrome sometimes shows up Too slow adopting new methodologies Needs to be more aggressive in acquisition strategies Needs to find the "next big thing" Needs to improve internal knowledge sharing
