Pros

* Good, consistent bonuses * Benefit plans comparable or better than most companies * Large, stable company, doing very well globally

Cons

* All project decisions are made in China, decision making process is unclear, and there is little or no local participation in the process * Very little employee communication about the company, other projects, long term plans etc. * Little or no sharing between projects * Career growth limited if you don't read and write Mandarin * No stock options, RSUs etc. * Uncomfortable work environment if you don't speak Mandarin - a lot of business conducted in Mandarin, most hallway conversations in Mandarin and somewhat loud

Pros

Most people at the company are good to work with.

Cons

Management discourage contractors to clock in for overtime hours but expect them to get the job done, however, that can only be possible if they work overtime. Many are miserable and are looking to get the heck out. There are way too many flaws in the internal software system, and it takes months to try to get thngs corrected with no improved change. The company doesn't seem to CARE to correct them, which is very dissapointing. I was told that this company isn't even owned by its employees as proclaimed. This company is very shady.

Pros

1. Better pay package as compared to other companies .

Cons

Seriously speaking I donot feel any Pros about huawei except Money . 1. Here Customer comes first and employees second . 2. Your optimisation in work is considered as Short cuts . 3. They believe in working like dogs , irrespective of your health and personal emotions . 4. Good for only freshers , because they can work day and night without any liability . 5. Contractors are treated like slaves . 6. this is worst place for Married females and people who are coming from distance . 7. Morning 9:30 times makes you feel as if you are working in jail . 8. Though you are entitled for 2.5 leaves a month , but if you avail leaves in succession due to some emergency , your rating will degrade . 9. People on higher management are not technically competent about project , they are the ones who follow same old routine method which includes long working hours . 10. You will be promoted only if you have potential to work for 12-13 hrs each day . 11. I have seen several incidents where in employees were forced to cancel there leaves / trips and have to rush to office in between , even if there is not much emergency and when issues can be resolved over phone also . 12. Have seen people down with fever also coming to office , they donot understand that this may cause other people also sick due to infection . 13. Lot of pressure , part of which is real while part of that is created by panic of higher management . They will ask for status every 2-3 hours . 14. Agile sucks , with less time and lots of procedures , approvals and documentaton . 15. would suggest people if you are keen about your family to join Huawei , you can join only if you are ready to spend a minimum of 10 - 11 hrs each day in the office . 10 hrs is considered as miniimum working hours , though official working hours are 8:30 - 5:30 and core working hours are 9:30 to 4:30 .
