Too much bureaucracy, politics and micro-management!

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

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

ProsGood benefits and work/life balance.

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

Need to read reviews per separate business groups

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)
Cupertino, CA

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

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.

ConsTypical ups and downs of a startup environment.

Advice to Senior ManagementIncreased PR efforts would help the sales teams do their job.
