Huawei Myths


I am in Island Express on my way back to Kerala, one  of my co-passengers is sharing his wisdom about Huawei to his friend... I am sure this guy had never worked in Huawei otherwise he would have told such nonsense
As per this great personality...
      1.    Huawei has an RnD department and if you are a member of that team you won’t able go home before 10 pm on any working day.
      2.    Except very few RnD engineers all Software Engineers in Huawei are doing network component monitoring and maintenance. They don’t have to do programming
      3.    Huawei gives 15-30 percent hike every six month.....(Even Google and Microsoft can’t do this)
      4.    Once you work in Huawei for some time you are in a trap... you cannot move to another company because nobody would be able to offer you a hike on Huawei package (Obviously if you are getting 30% hike a year). And most of the time the HR/consultant will faint hearing your package.

Dude... I had worked four years in Huawei, that too in RnD... almost always I used to leave office before 7pm. I did not find it difficult to find another job too.... I must say Huawei is a very good company to work if you like challenges and taking up responsibilities...Also they trust young blood and if you are capable you can grow in your career quickly. And all those rumors about bad work culture are not true.

Shall I slap this idiot who is spreading nonsense?!!!!
