Bureaucratic, disastrously poor work-life balance, no respect for non-Chinese cultures - Anonymous employee Huawei Technologies Employee Review

Huge difference between treating local and expat employees in terms of benefits, stock options and internal support. Local staff are not respected and have very little career progression within the company as middle/senior management tend to be Chinese-only expats appointed by HQ. HQ who do not understand local markets, however, act like commanders as opposed to facilitators. Do not tend to keep promises to low-level employees, who are clearly overworked and instructed to have mobile phone switched on 24/7. Even when on holiday at times.
