Working at Nokia in Europe is must better than any other continent. All working hours and holidays are mainly based on Europe. Other country’s public holidays are respected. People are expected to work based on their European colleagues’ availability
Working at Nokia in Europe is often viewed more favorably than in other regions. Nokia outside of Europe can lead to feeling subordinate or inferior to European colleagues. There is a troubling prevalence of bullying, and despite numerous complaints, both IT executives and Business Team executives have consistently failed to take any action. Many European colleagues, regardless of their position, exhibit a sense of superiority and often expect global teams to adhere to European working hours and holidays. This dynamic can make working for Nokia in India or US or any other non-european continent way less preferable. For those working in regions like India, particularly in IT roles, complaints often go unheard as business executives tend to override IT decisions. Having worked in the business team in Europe, I personally experienced and endured mistreatment. Fortunately, I found employment elsewhere, but many colleagues continue to endure such behavior and bullying. This review aims to support those still at Nokia and hopes this message can reach responsible executives or prospective employees. I didnt dare to report this while I was employed at Nokia because I was sure to be fired to raise such concerns. They wouldn't fire me directly because that will be seen as act of retaliation to my complaint , but they wouldn't lose a single opportunity to see where I do not excel and throw me out based on very small reasons or as a cost cutting measure. Unfortunately, the HR or Chief People Officer has not effectively addressed these issues for Nokia employees. It's worth noting that bullying is most pronounced in countries like France and Germany, where cliques often form, making cooperation with global colleagues, especially newcomers, very challenging. Additionally, there have been instances of false reporting by European colleagues leading to severe consequences for those targeted, while complaints from non-European colleagues are often disregarded or even punished. To those currently in non-European countries, it's advisable to keep records of all complaints filed. In case of termination due to false accusations, this documentation may support legal action against Nokia for negligence in addressing employee complaints and retaliatory dismissal.
CEO and Board members - Beware there will be many lawsuits coming up. No one in India or US will want to join Nokia due to your executive’s consistently ignoring legitimate concerns. There is a lot of bullying from French and German cliques, which is unacceptable. Yet, it’s been ignored by HR and Ethics and compliance team. The Nokia values are not being followed ! There is a very obvious cleanup required. The BGs executives are power drunk and are sometimes unwilling to be humane.

Pros: The pay is decent and working in a hybrid environment is okay. They provide decent benefits as well.
Cons: Youre basically a tier I ticket clearing peon, so you dont really learn anything useful. They middle management will use you and abuse you till you are worn out. They will also dangle a carrot in front of our face with the prospect of employment after you long-term contract ends. However, every person I've known that's worked there has ended up getting ghosted by them. That's not that bad and all, but if you're unfortunate as I am, they end ruining potential employment opportunities for you in the future even though they said you can use them as a reference and put countless hours of OT in for them anytime they needed coverage.
