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.

From being a mere graduate to immersing myself in real software challenges in one corner of the world, and then transcending continents to make my mark in the software industry once again as a Software Engineer at Nokia, my journey over the years is not just a testament to my hard work and ambitions, but also a reminder that we are capable of achieving far beyond our initial expectations when we summon the courage to step out of our comfort zones. I firmly believe that each of us can benefit from embracing that courage from time to time, as it is often the catalyst that propels us towards new opportunities and greater heights.

Your dreams show what you can become. They are your hopes, what you love, and the future you want. Always be ready to learn new things. Learning helps you grow. Identify your fears and challenge them. Don't let fear hold you back from pursuing your goals and taking risks. Take responsibility for your growth, development, and success. Don't wait for others to empower you; empower yourself. Don't be afraid to ask questions, even if you think they might sound basic. Asking questions demonstrates curiosity and a desire to learn.

It emphasizes the proactive mindset needed when seeking opportunities. Instead of waiting for opportunities to come to you, take action, be creative, and actively pursue your goals. Whether it is related to your career, personal life, or any other aspect, you can create opportunities through your efforts and determination. Open yourself to the possibilities; if you wait until you are ready, you might miss a unique chance. Be willing to have the hustle muscle to figure it out. Some opportunities might only come once, SEIZE them :)
