Company

What do you like about your job and the company?

What I value most about working at Nokia is the diversity of roles and opportunities to grow. I get to collaborate with professionals across many disciplines, from engineering and product development to leadership and transformation, and every project brings a new learning experience.

The culture encourages exploration and personal development. I have had the chance to work with exceptional mentors and coaches who have helped refine my skills and expand my perspective. There is always room to take initiative, try new ideas, and make a real impact.

What sets Nokia apart is its combination of global scale and human connection. You can work on cutting-edge technology while being part of a community that truly supports growth, collaboration, and purpose.

Greatest achievements

My greatest achievement has been growing through diverse transformation roles at Nokia. I led the System-on-Chip Transformation Program that improved R&D collaboration and execution quality, and contributed to the global rollout of the new performance management framework. Over five years, I have worked in more than five roles while completing my MBA, combining technical excellence, leadership, and continuous learning.

Top Insider Advice

Despite I've been in Nokia for two decades, I frequently find new things and opportunities to use my skills. Nokia is like an adventure, you never know what amazing tasks you find behind the next corner! Step in with an open and bold mind and see what great experiences wait for you. Also, you don't have to be an engineer to work in Nokia, as we need many types of experts to build our success.

A friend invited me to apply as a software developer, so I did. When I got the results from the assessment test – the examiner informed me that I failed the exam but suggested me a QA position. I immediately jumped on the opportunity without knowing what QA was. The manager offered me that opportunity in the company as he knew my learnability. Nokia provided training, coaching, and mentoring, and I enjoyed the work. As I developed my knowledge, an architecture and specification position opened, and I was excited about it. But I thought I was not yet ready for the role. I consulted my manager about it and asked for his opinion, and he encouraged me to go for it and to try it out. Fast forward to hardship and several leaps of faith, and I am excited to grow and try new things. This year I started my new position. Looking back, I am grateful to mention three key points: 1. Don’t be afraid to try new things. There’s no additional knowledge if you already know it – what is QA? 2. Develop your knowledge. Learning is a never-ending process: if you don’t know – study! 3. How will you know if you don’t try? You might regret it one day if you haven't tried.

You don't need to have 1000 goals, you just need a couple and to know exactly what those are, to articulate a clear road map out to get there and then doing your best is the right thing to do, knowing that we couldn't do better and that the current outcome is the profit of our hard work. Then, by creating a friendly and great environment you will never feel that you are working but just cooperating and having a good time with your mates.
