Looks like classic modern US management speech to me.
Step 1: "The sky is falling on our heads !"
Step 2: "Trust me, I'm the one who will save your ass."

The trick is to exaggerate the state of desolation you see when you arrive. Then cut some heads and put some friends in place. I've already seen that before.

Nokia is in a world of pain right now.

They are a publicly trading company who previously _dominated_ the world wide smart phone market to being blindsided by Apple and seen their market annihilated by Android.

What's strange is that Nokia is still hiring Meego devs. That doesn't look like they want to stop it.

Yes, last year there were a lot of job offers for "mobile development in a finish telecom company for Linux developers", and this is still the case.
