Former Employee – worked at Huawei Technologies full-time for more than a year

ProsGood benefits and work/life balance.

ConsToo much bureaucracy! China HQ micromanages Huawei USA to the point of inactivity. Other vendors can deliver product faster than Huawei can provide a quote.

Advancement is too political.

US Citizens often become the scapegoat for Chinese Nationals.

US Government persecution.

Advice to Senior ManagementHuawei HQ needs to give Huawei USA autonomy.

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

ProsHuawei Technologies has 3 divisions in USA: Enterprise (networking/storage infrastructure), Consumer Device (smartphones/tablets), Carrier/Telecom and Futurewei (R&D group supporting the other divisions). Each division has it's own culture. The Enterprise group is a "startup" within a $35 billion company that is based in Silicon Valley, CA.

Santa Clara, CA

Former Employee – worked at Huawei Technologies as a contractor for less than a year

ProsLots of freedom that each group has. The cafeteria is also very good with lots of authentic Chinese food, I would definitely work there again.

ConsA majority of the employees are native Chinese speakers. The language and culture barrier is a little bit of an obstacle when working with others.
