Appalling company

Pros

Other than reasonable pay for those in the right roles, I really can't think of any positives.

Cons

Company is not Globalised, there is no understanding of local culture, law and working style and no appetite to learn. Its the Huawei way or no way. Sadly this results in appalling behaviour, limited oportunities for local employees and self sacrifice to get on.

Pros

Very nice working site; Decent work/life balance

Cons

The management, in terms of project, HR and technology, is a big chaos. The worst thing is that, those high-level managers, who dont know the technologies and sometime dont even want to know the technologies, are making the technology development plan. It is happening everywhere through out the company. It makes the engineers, who are actually doing the work, extremely difficult to carry out the assigned task without clear and properly-defined motivations and targets. Managers don't care about the career development of employees. Quite rare (almost impossible) to observe a continuously rising learning curve as it will always got interrupted frequently by fast-changing project and organizational changes. Not a ideal place for researchers due to the fickle-minded atmosphere.

A Chinese company trying hard to glocalize

Pros

If you have seen it (Western companies) all, Huawei definitely is not your typical (boring) company.

Cons

The Chinese corporate culture is very evident: hierarchical and trust is built via relations not your experience/achievements. Communication and cooperating with Chinese co-workers is sometimes a problem.
