Huawei Technologies Reviews

Pros

Good exposure
Good learning opportunities

Cons

No work life balance in fact only work

Advice to Senior Management

Please make the environment little bit employee friendly

Pros

- Good career opportunities in senior management roles requiring more experience and contacts than in other similar companies within the industry.
- Some autonomy locally and regionally, but still micro-managed by Chinese senior management.
- Easy access to Chinese senior management, especially if you are meeting your targets and/or bringing value to the company.
- Great opportunity to visit HQ in Shenzhen, PR China on various occasions, especially planned customer visits there.
- Company, and thus, opportunities are always growing and available (short-term).
- Great opportunity to see how Chinese technology firms work and operate.

Cons

- Loads of communications problems and issues.
- Most of the senior management are Chinese expatriates - many with no experience.
- Constantly micro-managed and second guessed (especially from HQ).
- Everything is a "state" secret and information is hoarded by the few.
- Business practices can verge on the unethical, and there is definitely a business cultural difference with Western business practices and business ethics.
- There is no career advancement opportunities for non-Chinese staff above a certain level.
- Salary is slightly below average - bonuses will always be lower than you expect (loads of fine print and other vague policies).

Advice to Senior Management

- Hire locals experienced in the local markets for senior management roles.
- Improve the quality of the products and product documentation.
- Emphasis should be on global experience and not Chinese experience (Chinese way is fine in China, but not in the rest of the world - especially at the local level).
