Pros

Engaged in many projects, technologies, able to meet CxOs and key decision makers.

Cons

Poor management (technical guy with some success promoted to people leading position without skills at all), narcissistic, huge amount of politics, only promoting people he can 'control' despite lack of business success compared to others. Atmosphere of fear ('how to survive skills list'). No career path for those ethical and with values unless you leave them behind.

Pros

Seeking a career with Huawei? Here are some prerequisites: 1. If you are a consummate liar then the Huawei work environment will be ideal for you. 2. If you lack morals and adhere to questionable business practices you will feel at home whilst working for Huawei. 3. If you are a Chinese National with an overly inflated view of your own self worth, then Huawei has a lot to offer. 4. If you are a furtive, secretive, sneaky or opaque individual (sorry - there should be more but I ran out of superlatives) look no further than Huawei. "Caveat". Please note that Huawei's minimal entry requirements are not stated in the interview process and can only be ascertained after the first 6 months of employment. If you think you can't meet the expectations in any of the above categories I suggest you look elsewhere for job satisfaction.

Cons

There's no value in me pointing out the "Cons" If you got past the "Pros" and think you're still a good fit for Huawei. The only thing left for me to say is; "YOU SHOULD ASHAMED OF YOURSELF". .

Pros

Not many pros to talk about unfortunately; Generally pay seems to be pretty competitive but that's about all that comes to mind. The R&D team is pretty stable but all other positions are in the direct and constant path of layoffs.

Cons

Very difficult culture being that it's virtually all Chinese management; Nobody in a senior position is from the U.S.; No understanding of how to operate in a mature market like the U.S., treat every market the same; VERY high turnover (layoffs) for U.S. employees which tend to be backfilled by less expensive Chinese employees; Very little trust from management towards U.S. employees
