Pros

The people within the organization at the working level are very dedicated and exhibit a strong work ethic. Many put in very very long hours, which is commendable. The expats in the Plano market are very friendly and genuine friendships are formed.

Cons

Everyone comes to an employer with a mix of expectations. With Huawei, the challenge is there is much work to be done, but little in way of top level management to focus and prioritize. This results in a very strong feeling of apathy amongst many.

Pros

They are always hiring because no one lasts more than 2 years. Weak management means you can often set your own work plan and thus gain experience. You can really improve your cross-cultural skills.

Cons

If you are not Chinese, set your expectations very low. Huawei does not support its Western staff at all, you will not be invited to key meetings, important communication is only in Chinese and managers are often young and inexperienced. Business style of Huawei is too keep your head down and not make any waves, so ambitious staff is frowned upon. Non-Chinese staff are not eligible for stock payments that make HQ staff rich. Terrible working culture, low communications, little training.
