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.

What do you like about your job and the company?

I enjoy the variety my job offers for me. I never feel bored, as I always have new projects ongoing and new things to learn. I get to see the company from many different aspects. I encounter various situations where I can use my creativity to solve them. It's satisfying to see the impact of my work both on Nokia's business and also on people's well-being at work. Working in close interaction with other people gives me extra energy. I have colleagues all around the world and it's always inspiring to interact with them, whether face-to-face or online. The "Nokia family" is a concept that resonates well to me and I think it describes our company very well.

Greatest achievements

The President of Finland awards several people every year for their special contributions in different fields of the society. I feel honoured to have been one of the Nokia employees who was awarded in 2016. I received the award because of my support to our work community and the improvement of the general atmosphere. That is something I'm really proud of.

Top Insider Advice

Soft skills are as important as hard skills. You need to be able to build stories, to be convincing, to keep adapting, etc. However, do not neglect hard skills and select an area where you could go deep in expertise.

My top advice to someone starting out is to stay curious and open to learning, especially from the people around you. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, take initiative, and get involved in communities like NextGEN. Building connections early on, whether through fun events or team projects, can make a big difference in how supported and confident you feel in your role.

Top Insider Advice

Play the long game and focus on continuous growth. Step outside your comfort zone, take on new challenges, and learn from every role. Find synergies between what you do and where you want to go. Seek mentors and coaches who can guide your development, and remember that leadership is not about title but about helping others grow. Stay curious, adaptable, and focused on meaningful impact.
