Pros

I was working with great people and great technologies, with teams spread across the globe all working towards a common goal. Good work/life balance, benefits and opportunities for travel available if desired.

Cons

As competition grew, the slow pace of change (driven by complacency?) became frustrating - seemed that vision and strategy was driven by too many old-timers who I believe viewed the company as a 'job for life' and couldn't believe that Nokia might be out-passed by the new platforms.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
