Pros

Plenty of opportunities to explore new technologies. Quality of work, compared to other companies, is better. Many good processes are followed.

Cons

Work life-Personal life balance is affected. People slog too much. Not at all recommended for girls, because management expects them also to stay late. Some technical leaders are annoyingly dumb, and makes me wonder who the hell recruited them at the first place! With so many dissatisfied employees, Huawei is facing severe attrition, even from its Tier1 employees. Attitude of management - people who stay at office more (though not working, but just browsing through mails) are recognized for "excellent" performance.

Pros

For entry-level student, it is not a bad choice. For really strong guys, you may also get a lot of opportunities, but for others, if not enjoy life, just enter it, otherwise, considering your future work. If you have entered, just try to adapt yourself to the culture at the beginning, and if finally find it does not match with you, then, go out and get a new job. At least, you should be able to learn something at the beginning for most guys.

Cons

Not open, too many regulations and maybe too-much over-time work in some departments.

Pros

It's a relatively still new player in Telco (vendor) as a MNC when I joined. So there's lots of opportunity to learn and enrich ones knowledge and grow with the company.

Cons

Workload is enormous and not fairly compensated for the effort put in. It will come to the point, where you rather cross sword with management or just say good bye. The company always try to impose Chinese working ethics to all their oversees branches although their will claim the other way round. If you do not know what's the Chinese working ethics like, here it is .....work hard (yes, the longer your working hours, the more you will impress your superior), just accept management decisions even when you know it's not the best practice ....
