Pros

Huawei is a phenomenon, and has become a force to be reckoned with in Telecommunications software. In the past years it is trying to break into the western telecoms market, and has been successful up to a point. One of the best reasons to work for Huawei is the opportunity to work in a completely different culture, a huge company and utter chaos.

Cons

Huawei as a company is in fact 2 companies: there is the company you'll be hired into, and then there is the Chinese company where the real decisions are made, where the real information is and where people have a career and therefore a reason to work for the company...

Pros

1. Pays 20% more than the market but x2 to x3 for the workload. 2. Progressing a lot but getting scoldings and discomfort. 3. Lots of opportunities but you never know is there any headcounts in your desired team. 4. If you are in a team lots of Malaysia then ok, but probably still got politics 5. Make huge fortune if you get sent to work at very poor countries like Bangladesh. 6. Company will continue to make huge money.

Cons

Just use the Red Note(小红书)app to figure out, most of them are facts. Huawei will keep making money. In my view, it’s because they’re extremely good at squeezing employees. Their hiring strategy turns everyone’s work into standardized, replaceable cogs in a machine. If someone leaves, they just swap in another person—there’s always someone willing to take the job. Huawei is perfect for those who come from poor backgrounds, are buried in mortgage debt, or need to prove themselves at any cost, even at the expense of their self-respect. But if your family can support your basic needs and you just want a stable career with steady progress, this is not the place for you. 1. OT without getting paid. 2.The performance evaluation is awful—it's entirely based on your supervisor's subjective judgment. Many times, they give you a low rating for ridiculous reasons, making it impossible for you to get promoted or a raise. 3. Year End Bonus is paid in April to June by the next year. 4. Shifting from customer-centric to Boss-centric. 5. Lots of lots of PUA/Gaslighting. 6. Employee meal costs RM42(Lunch/Dinner) for locals 7. Endless Useless Meeting 8. One to couple years contracts only even you are Huawei Employee, No permanent contract.

Pros

The only pro is that they will pay you. Not well, but you will get paid. Probably.

Cons

If you’re not Chinese, don’t work at Huawei. Senior management are incompetent and are often promoted based solely on the grounds that they’re Chinese. Managers tell employees exactly the wrong way to do their job, undermine the people who have experience, and then wonder why nothing gets accomplished. Social events are often created for only the Chinese in the office. And they’re held in public spaces in the office.
