Pros

It's a big company and the market leader. Great medical and health care plans and flexible work hours and places. An important tool for garnering that feedback is the Huawei pulse survey. This provides a confidential and consistent means for employees across Huawei to rate their experience with the company. I would recommend Huawei as a good place to work and would encourage people to join Huawei.

Cons

It has all the downsides that all big companies tend to have.People promoted based on how well they suck up vs. performance.Technical staff were offered no advancement beyond a certain level of income / staff grading.

Pros

Some staff care about company, but not many.

Cons

Very heavy (more than 85%) chinese staff presence with ALL senior positions for chinese only. Token titles and positions with no power of influence occasionally given to local employees for account patronage reasons or a belief that it will win them a project. Chinese language is still primary company language, staff try to speak english but the proficiency is generally low and quite often its a very much a hit and miss affair if people understand!

Pros

As a European, it was an eye-opening experience into the Chinese Business model and culture. My work colleagues were very good people, highly skilled and educated.

Cons

Seemed unwilling to take on change and adapt to meet market conditions. I often found that some of my ex-pat colleagues seemed unwilling to innovate and improve when the option for referring to HQ was available, which often reduced efficiency and left matters to established processes. I sometimes found that a favourable attention was garnered by the Chinese ex-pat staff sent from HQ, at the expense of local staff, and turnover was high.
