Pros

It's a big company and the market leader. Great medical and health care plans and flexible work hours and places. An important tool for garnering that feedback is the Huawei pulse survey. This provides a confidential and consistent means for employees across Huawei to rate their experience with the company. I would recommend Huawei as a good place to work and would encourage people to join Huawei.

Cons

It has all the downsides that all big companies tend to have.People promoted based on how well they suck up vs. performance.Technical staff were offered no advancement beyond a certain level of income / staff grading.

Pros

If you are a work alcoholic, join huawei. Don't expect complex work. There would easy work but loads of it. Performance is recognized, but only in terms of how many hours do you spend in the office. One good reason would be to stay with an Asian company with a fast emerging domain(telecom), They are capturing all the 3rd world country markets, with there economical equipment and products and end to end solutions.

Cons

Compromise Quality, go with quantity. Salary would not be so great, but still better than many other Asian companies.
