Company

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.

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 :)

It's a cliché, but I think that it's true. Do something you like or even love, and you will never work a day in your life. I really enjoy what I do and so it's not work. I would recommend spending some time and figuring out what are you passionate about. What are the things you like to do and what do you find rewarding? I would even take a personality evaluation. Being aware of your preferences will be tremendously helpful in guiding your career path.

Top Insider Advice

You don’t need to know everything from day one. What we value most is your attitude — curiosity, honesty, and a genuine willingness to learn. In IT, technical skills will always matter, but they’re just one part of the puzzle. No one expects perfection. What truly makes a difference is your openness to ask for help, your readiness to share knowledge, and your ability to collaborate with others. Honest communication and strong teamwork lead to the best outcomes. Stay curious, stay determined — with the right mindset, no challenge is too big to take on.
