Company

What do you like about your job and the company?

I love the flexibility and autonomy that Nokia's culture provides me, it empowers me to make decisions. Additionally, as a truly global company, I have the opportunity to work with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

Greatest achievements

I would say my greatest achievements are actually with the people I work with, being able to support and help them (especially the new joiners). It feels good to be recognised as someone who can help, and this focus on people has also shaped my career journey. This networking proved invaluable whenever I was ready for a new challenge. I started as a subcontractor in the Recruitment team, and when I felt ready for my next step, I discovered an opening to move to one of delivery teams in the business. With it, I began to understand the Nokia products and how a Nokia project is delivered. Now I’ve found a new chapter as a Knowledge Program Manager. I’m living proof that Nokia’s internal market provides multiple opportunities to strengthen career development.

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.

Ask Questions!! I know this seems quite obvious, but I have been in many situations where I was in a group with colleagues, talking about a specific technical topic and using all kinds of abbreviations that I didn't know yet. I was afraid to ask, because I didn't want to seem like the dumb one. But it is not like that. All of us started somewhere and our colleagues at Nokia know that as well. If I just had asked questions right away, it would have helped me immensely.

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.
