Anyone frm Hua Wei working in Pakistan now?

I got offered to work in Hua Wei, but have to be posted to Pakistan immediately.

Is allowance of USD 40 daily enough to survive there?

I have been to China, India, Pakistan, Bangkok, Taiwan, Phili, Indonesia when I was in Huawei.

My allowanve is USD100. I think they cut the allowance after budget adjustment. Some people get lower. Depends on your employee Grade.

How was your job experience with Huawei?

Did you regret joining them?

I'm gonna join their logistic department.... any idea how shitty it could be?

Hi there !

Ive just heard about Huawei thru a mail i got (from them, telling me about their company and that they are recruiting fresh graduates..Ive Just graduated in E&E eng).. Didnt know that they are opening up a branch here in Mauritius (lil island in the indian ocean).. Like the others, i want to know about the working conditions in the company..i have read thru the threads and there are diverging opinions..Do they make you work that hard..? I dont want to get a HIGH salary v/s working like hell.. i mean there are other important things in life..depends on individuals too..i have a question for those already working there..how is the work generally? do you have to sit in front of a PC the whole day?? Is it a static/dynamic kinda work?? Ive read that Huawei are vendors..does that mean they sell/install products theyve designed themselves or products of other designing companies..? thx very much for reading this..hoping to get a reply soon..

Huawei is a very outstanding company. I was offered a position, Mobile Product Engineer but is more on marketing. 80% of my time needs to travel overseas, so I rejected the offer. But my friend working inside told me that the workload there is quite heavy but is good for fresh grad to learn. Don't worry, Huawei offers good benefits.

Not sure in malaysia. But in China, there is one staff work for Huawei "died" in office. Yes, died.... workload too heavy as stated in the news.
That guy "stay overnight" in office to rush for works. And you know what.....Huawei prepared sleeping bag to each of the staff and put in under their desk at that time..Crazy ,right..?
After that incident, their management said feel sorry, and will try to stop staff not to stay overnight anymore...
I don't keep the news link, if u interested , go google for that.

aai.....feel sorry for that guy

Sleeping bag! Haha good luck huawei employees..

Sleeping bag? Well at least the company provided sleeping bag and expects the staff to get some sleep... some companies here dont even bother. Dont think this is isolated only to Huawei, a lot of IT companies are the same if not worse

Say for a technical engineer, do you have to be in front a pc all day ?

Hua Wei, they just undercut the bigger players worldwide in their telco line against Siemens-Nokia, Ericsson and Alcatel. So far their only main source is from Government contracts in China.

hmm..true also....last time i also got no sleeping bag to stay overnight.

Oversea sales should be around 50% now. So it's around half, not entirely on government contracts.

Been thru 1st interview and at the same day they 1 me to go for second interview....
The manager of the call center estimate that I can get RM2.2K basic plus RM550 allowance but need to talk to HR first...
Anyone here know hows the enviroment of the call center in hua wei??
Hows the ppl in the call center???
Is there any chance to chg department to learn new thing after a long stay in call center in hua wei????

From the salary the offer you, i assume that you're a fresh grad.

and if you're there hoping to learn things through the call center...just forget it. any diploma students w/o engineering/IT degree can easily do the work there.

i suggest u go for their technical support engineer, that position will help you learn things super fast, and better still if you're in radio planning or mobile products.

benefit wise...nothing except one ING card...but $$$ wise...is good. bonus+increment higher than what you can get outside.

Added on January 29, 2007, 10:31 pmJust saw this post...so here are my few cents..

I used to work as huawei's technical support engineer for 2 yrs.



patching,upgrading,etc are all done at night..usually from 10pm-5am...and after you patch/upgrade, u have to test, this and that..a lot more stuffs which usually ends at 5am. and if something goes wrong halfway through, then you're under big pressure to get everything back normal before 6am..as traffic gonna increase by that time.



when you travel it depends. a lot of people like to tell me the travelling job is so fun, can go lotsa places, but this is not true. like balitong said, all you see is airport, office, hotel, eating place and customers site. and working 12-15 hours in overseas is a norm in a project.

so if you think working overseas is like going for holiday..think again..

but of course, if the place you go is having public holidays or long weekends..then of course can go lepak lah..

I'm not a fresh grad...i hv more than 2 year experience in call center no matter in IT technical or just pure customer service field...
So u think the salary which provided is not worth it ???

CDMA presales very less people only wo.. wah.. again new staff ar.. 26th have to go earlier already if not no place to seat... haha

No comment for the turn over rate, but normally presales don't have their permenant place in office, coz very frequent travelling overseas. alot of chinese in AP CDMA presales. Goodluck dude..
