"Great place to work. Loved working there. Many opportunities so long as you know your stuff and put in the work and time. They are always looking for ways to improve and give back to the community. Good compilation for what you are asked to do and the benefits are second to none. They even offer medical benefits to part time employees. Everyone there is like family and treated each other with respect. If you ever have a concern or suggestion the management's doors are always open."

"I worked for Nokia for over one year. Excellent environment and compensation. Once Nokia's mobile division was acquired by Microsoft I only had the chance to experience it for a short time. It felt as a very different company culture though."

"MSN (part of Microsoft) was a good company to work for at the time. The pay and benefits were great - free soda for everyone! But, MSN really lagged behind other portals at the time in terms of innovation. Great place to get some experience, but it's dangerous to get too comfortable and stay there for long. Long-term Microsoft employees are seen in the same light as college students who take 10 years to get a degree."
