What aspects of the culture can be identified as Finnish?

Well as you may know Nokia as a company has been born in Finland over 150 years ago. This means that even though we are a super-international company right now, we still have very strong Finnish roots in our business culture. Some of the best things about the Finnish business culture still at Nokia is the "to-the-point" way of doing business. It means we try to avoid vagueness and politics in all forms. If there is a problem it's with an issue not with the person. Finns never get personal when it comes to problems in the workplace. The less positive aspect is that the Finnish working culture lacks a really strong sense of community and openness. Finns are not the most social people out there and quite shy. So sometimes in Nokia, you have to work hard at having a really passionate, dynamic work community. That sense of community and team spirit is a bit further below the surface than in some other cultures.
