I worked at Huawei Technologies full-time for more than a year
Pros – Good benefits and work/life balance.
Cons – Too 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 Management – Huawei 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

Pros – Huawei 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.
Cons – Typical ups and downs of a startup environment.
Advice to Senior Management – Increased PR efforts would help the sales teams do their job.
