Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

The company operates in a confusing matrix system and changes it's organisation far to often leaving stability and smooth operation in jeopardy.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Company works with job grades for job functions - leaving all personal needs and qualifications behind. Some say that is fair but I strongly disagree. It puts everyone under enormous pressure.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Friendly, supportive & collabarative culture.

Employee - Vice President (VP, SVP, EVP, etc.)

Nokia needs to introduce a culture to adopt changes quickly that are required to keep the organization relevant in this digital age. To compete with new companies that are mushrooming everyday, it is important the old large one's have a robust incubation centre within the organization to use the talent that is available within the organization and have a suitable reward mechanism to nuture a win win proposition with its employees.

Employee - Vice President (VP, SVP, EVP, etc.)

Open but distant culture. Strong preference on Indian Nationals in key positions. Matrix system and weak leadership as function holders are made to line managers and dotted line managers. These managers often lack leadership qualifications. They are not chosen because of qualities rather than because of job functions.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

It was difficult to work in Public Relations at Nokia because approvals were required form Finland for too many of the daily activities and decisions. Also it was driven by politics rather than results. I would encourage the Nokia management to empower the local teams to make decisions and take necessary actions to respond quickly, especially in fast paced areas such as sales and public relations.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

It was a pleasure working with the people on the team. However, due to the politics, changing goals and reduced resources, it became increasingly more difficult to be successful.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

A company that pits employees as competitors to each other.

Employee - Vice President (VP, SVP, EVP, etc.)

Because Nokia was the majority share owner of the Nokia/Siemens Networks company, it caused a them versus us culture. The Nokia heritage employees treated the Siemens heritage employees as second class citizens. Often making statements, such as "we are going to get rid of Siemens heritage people". This attitude caused a big divide between the employees and a loss of productivity.
