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.

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.

I learned with my own personal experience, that we only know better our own culture, education, bias, and our own self, when we have lived at least few years in a different country and different culture (especially amongst locals). These (many years living in different countries and cultures) have expanded my horizon and my own identity, both professionally and especially personally. There is an emotional cost of "expatriating" oneself, but it is also truly a gift. There are many things that we cannot fully comprehend with only short visit, books or else, they have to be experienced over and over.
