Pros

If you're from anywhere other than the United States, you'll advance. If you're Chinese, you'll advance quicker! If you have experience and you're desperate for work, this may be a good start.

Cons

Huawei does not give fair and equal treatment to all employees. The company expects you to bankroll the company. Getting your money back via expense reports are acts of god.

Pros

Low workload, their old offices are outside of the city center of Shanghai but the environment is ok

Cons

There is no option for wfh or remote. Five days of paid holiday a year, and you also work Saturdays. Absolutely no work-life balance. Very blatant double standard: foreign-born Chinese are always preferred for promotions, even if they have no command of Chinese and no experience in the field. The management has no idea about linguistics, translation or localization. It's really heartbreaking to see them ruin the potential and squander the budget that the company has. They also refuse to learn or listen to feedback (only positive feedback is accepted). Hiring situation is very hectic, they can give you a one year visa and fire you after two months. Most of the PMs don't speak a second language, which is a huge setback for any language services department. Apply only if you have a backup and don't care about low salary.
