Pros

1. Co-workers here are generally nice people. 2. Working on cutting edge technologies (otherwise you are laid off...) 3. Compensation is competitive. (but remember the saying: at HUAWEI, two persons are paid with 3 persons' salary, but asked to do 5 person's job)

Cons

1. No work-life balance (work overtime and calls with HQ during night) 2. No job security (every project has to be approved by HQ, no project, no job) 3. Minimum career development opportunities (unless you are willing to relocate to China and can speak Chinese...) 4. Minimum (or no) pay increase 5. Very high turnover rate because of the above 4 reasons...

Thanks for taking the time to tell us your thoughts! Futurewei is the US R&D subsidiary of Huawei Technologies, which is a relatively new company headquartered in Shenzhen, China. As such, we are continually evolving and improving operations and practices in the overseas markets. We are working on many initiatives to improve the infrastructure and adapt policies for our US operations with the ultimate goal of establishing a local company where we can successfully bridge and close cultural gaps. This takes time, but efforts and progress are being made.
