Hi Donovan, great to connect! That’s an interesting question. For me personally, what attracted me to Nokia was its open and collaborative culture, along with the opportunity to learn and engage with stakeholders on a truly global scale. The company also places a strong emphasis on employee well-being and work-life balance, which is especially important to me as a working mum!
Hope that helps, and always here if you have any further questions 😃

Thank you, Rana, I really appreciate you sharing that. The emphasis on open collaboration and well-being really stood out to me, especially hearing it from your personal experience.
From your perspective as a Talent Acquisition Partner, what qualities or signals tend to stand out most in early-career software engineers who do well at Nokia? I’m always looking to align my growth with what teams genuinely value.
