Chinese managers do not know US market

Pros

Challenging work, good pay, used to be a fun place to work

Cons

HQ sent over a "Tiger" team that was supposed to take over US the market and land retail sales contracts with American carriers. This team instead turned out to be composed of kittens with no backbone. As a result, they have failed and are now under political pressure to abandon the US market. They became arrogant and ignored valuable advice from seasoned professionals.

Pros

The company pays much more than the industry average. This high pay should have been a sign Pay

Cons

1. Company does not value employee health and wellbeing . During the Japan nuclear disaster in Fukushima Daiichi they request there employees to go into the highly radio active zones that people where told to leave. they where sharing this in PowerPoint slides in Solar to customers in US to show them how much they value the customer. yet this concept of valuing employee does not mean anything to them. 2. Huawei hacked into my Linked-in Account and put that I am working for them. Someone at Huawie did this after sending several emails to employee. after the final email from someone in China stating that "Please update your Linked-in Account with Huawei or I will get in trouble". 3. No following US HR rules (vacation, maternity leave, etc.). when I request time off to spend with my pregnant wife I was told over the phone that technically I cannot say no but the senior management will not like this and this can impact you in a negative way.

Pros

- Brand equity is "ok" in some countries but very bad in the US (word of mouth by ex employees) - Makes you enjoy European/American companies even more -Pay has to be better than competition given bad reputation

Cons

-State owned enterprise in disguise -Ethnocentric - Chinese management alienates locals in Huawei Offices in every country I have visited , without exception -Different standards of ethics and professionalism -Bonuses paid 6 months after end of period - sometimes even later -Check the travel policy and daily allowance
