It's more of continuum than a set accent. "Standard" pronunciation is the modern amalgamation of old Ashkenazi and Sephardi accents. The vast majority of people speak it, give or take.
Some people will maintain more "Mizrahi/Sephardi" (essentially, biblical) phonemes such as gutturals and pharyngeals (particularly the original sounds for Ayin and Het in the Semitic abjads), mostly either old Mizrahi/Sephardi dudes or young guys trying to emulate them. It's particularly common in some "Mizrahit" music, and is almost always maintained in prayer.
Same goes for Ashkenazim on the other side of the fence, religious ones will maintain old pronunciaton for music and prayer but will usually drop it for the Standard in day to day life.
Notable mention is Russian immigrants, both Jewish and non Jewish, will usually roll their R's (and otherwise pronounce words with a Russian tint). Their native born children drop this, for the most part. Some halfheartedly, my ex would drop a few rolled R's on me when she got pissed off. French immigrants speak differently, but not as noticeably as all Standard Hebrew phonemes barring the voiceless velar fricative exist in French.

Majority of people in my country speak with standard accent (which you hear on TV).

IDK about accent, but the written language is awful. Very few, because the reform of Finnish failed. Too long words and spaces.
F.ex.
Are you
Std written language "oletko sinä", but in spoken language "o:tsä"
To make this more complex, we have 6 dialects and Swedish speakers. Local dialects, old and young dialects.

Most people in Vienna, especially the younger ones speak varying degrees of Standard Austrian German, similar to what you can hear on TV. For the rest of Austria various dialects are spoken, depending on the federal province. As a Viennese I can understand most of them except the dialect that is spoken in Vorarlberg (and some regions in Tyrol). To me personally it sounds like Swiss German. Although I have friends from Switzerland that claim it sounds nothing like Swiss German But most people will switch to Standard Austrian once they realize that you're not a local. From what I have observed in Vienna, teenagers nowadays tend to speak more like people in Germany would. I assume it’s due to TV/Youtube.
