I worked at Huawei Technologies full-time for more than a year

Pros1. "Endless pit" of telecom knowledge.

3. Excellent relations within local staff.
4. Assigned teams for projects/clients

Cons1. A lot of supervisors and approvers that are not responsible for anything.
2. Communication with technical experts in HQ only through Chinese colleagues.
3. Unclear bonus policy.
4. Incredibly unclear career opportunities and salary increase.
4. Internal struggle between different departments cause by "windy" mood of top-management.
5. Limited and severely controlled access to the Internet.

Good environment, good pay

Software Engineer (Current Employee)
Shanghai, Shanghai (China)

I have been working at Huawei Technologies full-time for more than a year

ProsGood environment, good pay. What else can I say? It's the best tech company in China. The promotion chance is great here, so hard work does pay-off, but if you really want to start your own company some day, it may not be the best choice for you, as the networking is not a big plus here.

ConsNo great perks. Some overtime work.

Advice to Senior ManagementNot too flaty.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
