Pros

-No one cares what you are doing.

Cons

- Poor communication. Employees hang out in their small circles forming little groups. Chinese from HQ, Chinese in Germany, Italians, Greeks, East europeans. Feels like kindergarten. - Local management and HQ management apparently do not work closely together. Pointing fingers and blaming culture is what you will experience there. HQ management comes and goes every 2 years, meaning that after two year, expect your department to have a complete different vision - Consultants do no enjoy the same benefit as direct employees. - Not much chance to learn and improve yourself - Hire and Fire culture. During my limited time at this job, i saw at least 10 people leaving in my department - Do not recommend to young professionals who wants to build a career, think twice before you want to work with them. - I am really disappointed by Huawei. Despite the name and "reputation" which it appears, as an employee, this is my worst experience ever. - Get a proper job. Life is short, YOLO.

Pros

Salary is always on time and competitive.

Cons

Management is reserved for Chinese expats, who inhabit their positions for a fixed period. Then they are sent off to the next country of which they have no idea about the local laws and regulations. Mainly Chinese staff. Local languages and customs don't matter. Even official internal communication is often in Chinese only. Locals are being excluded from any decision. Communication is top down, no exceptions. Direct communication manners are similar to military drill seargents, if there is any direct communication at all. Finance department is a mess. Staff and candidates have to fight for their reimbursements. No respect for private live. Employees have to be reachable 24/7, literally. Extra hours are not being reimbursed, but expected. Flexible working hours mean come earlier and go later. No home office. No consistency on all levels. Every day every task is basis for negotiation. The list goes on and on.
