Huawei is a new player in telecommunication industry, Famous with switches and router (used to be Cisco manufacturer). Office located in Petronas twin tower.

I went for the interview before as a provisioning and deployment engineer, successfully employed but turn down the offer due to relocation in Brunei. Their project mainly based in developing countries such as Indonesia, India, Myanmar, and UAE.

They prefer experience worker and willing to travel and relocation. Benefit wise, can't compare to other telco vendors such as Siemens, Ericsson, or Motorola. Labor turnover sure high as people switch to Cisco, Siemens, Ericsson, Motorola, or Operator such as TIME, MAXIS,Digi, Celcom.

For technical position, they only interested in E&E engineering, multimedia computing, and telecommunication engineering.Interview came with very technical test such as OSI layer, TCP/IP, IP calculation, and essay question.

I'm applying via jobstreet and they will select alot based on ur experience and knowledge.

Huawei targeting developing countries with low budget implementation cost. Developed countries mostly deal with Siemens, Motorola, or Ericsson.

Price War,

If you are applying engineer position, they prefer E&E engineering, Multimedia Computing and also telecommunication engineering field.

Or you need to have very strong experience in telecommunication field, either vendors or operators.

Recently I have one colleague working as technician in Maxis switch to Huawei become support engineer getting around RM 2800 only.

Very technical staff like OSI layers (in details).. switches and routers design fundamental, TCP/IP calculation, objective and subjective questions.

But the test is not everything, The interview is the one that determine your application.. Best luck to eveyone applying

Can try MAXIS and Ericsson, as ericsson rolling out 3G project for TIME.com

I'm not sure whether the ericsson website still advertising the position, u can try anyway.. dun bother about the application due date and they might still need ppl.

If u think u r interested, just apply with ur full strengh..

Fresh Graduate Program unless u are very execellent, MAXIS do hire fresh grad depends on position and ur academic qualification.

I myself is the best example, and i've seen fresh grad joining also

But is really tough to get employed by them as average position applied in jobstreet is more then 400 application.

No harm trying and may the lucky fairy with u..

Mobile presale required alot of travelling to asia country and i think chances is high and good luck.

May i know is there any test or technical question during the interview and which major are u in?

I went to interview before also, support engineer and just wanted to find out is there any test for presales position. i'm planning to apply also, GSM and 3G presales engineer.

currently i'm analyst engineer in MAXIS, u can keep in touch with them via e-mail and inquiry ur application status

U went to interview in Huawei before get the job from Maxis?
Yeah, i give up Huawei because require to base in brunei for 3 years

How long u work for Maxis already?
More then 1/2 year

U joined as fresh graduate?
Nope, but with 1 year exp in telco ASP.


What kind of analyst engineer do in Maxis?
Network performance analysis, i'm in packet switch performance

Why u want to change company?
Maxis only offer contract position (but good pay), another reason is I wan to try something new as in technical sales position. Because I hav tried support engineer, analyst engineer, and I wan to try presales now

Maxis can apply via Jobstreet or maxis.com.my

I'm also very fresh to working life only. 2 1/2 years working experience only. i choose telecomm field because i foresee is one of the most promising industry if compared to oil & gas or tobacoo.

1 year in PSTN (fixed line) - support

1 year in Mobile GSM (Mobile data) - analyst

Ya, Presales engineer under product marketing team.

I can say my 1st job was accepted because not much choices ava that time. just simply accept the position. hehe.. sorry to say so la..

2nd job was because is related to telecomm industry and obviously MAXIS is a well known cooporate in malaysia.

I'm very comfortable with both jobs and as i know u need to move from 1 place to another in order to gain more experiences.. joining vendors will be very challenging as my previous and current job is on operator side..

my 1st company is an ASP status company, but i dun wan to tell the name la. very good and very warm hearted company although the company was not that big at that time.

Basic salary < RM2000 excluding allowance, so many things u can learn and u pratically can touch and feel everything, in another word experience or play with it.

I guess you are truely newbies.. i think last time when huawei 1st call up for interview i was also very excited, but now my target dream work switched to siemens or ericsson.

although huawei now become my 2nd choice liao.. hehe.

I reckon chances very slim and u better prepare for the worst and u can also try other company.

there is alot of other related company in the markets. i think if u are fresh grad and if u join huawei, u will find urself very hard to adopt their enviroment.

Try some local or smaller scale company, chances might be higher. bare in mind, there is no 100% success's interview..

Asia Telecommunications is not vendor, AT is ASP. AT working with very small scale switches. But i also reckon AT is the only telecomm company located in KLCC.

so many telecom related company out there, UCE, Nextel, mytel, xintel, j&c pacific, ithlgroup, unified comm and etc..

there is so many related vendors and operator out there.. not hard to find 1.. good luck

lucent? ericsson?
