In just over a year, I seem to have witnessed all kinds of human feelings and mixed feelings.
What's the experience of working at Huawei?
If I can describe it in one word, it is:
Depression.
First of all, this sense of oppression comes from an invisible sense of oppression, which gives people a kind of psychological pressure.
What is even more frightening is that this repression has become a part of Huawei culture.
Stress can't be defined simply by working overtime. Overtime can only show a heavy workload, but it does not necessarily mean a sense of oppression. Overtime may also be related to personal work efficiency.
In addition, although some jobs have long working hours, often as long as ten hours, they are only repetitive mechanical operations. As long as practice makes perfect, they can cope.
Huawei is not.
For example.
When I was at Huawei, a little girl in the department was recruited by the school. She graduated with a master's degree in 985 with a good academic record.
New employees who have just joined Huawei will arrange tutors, and little girls are no exception. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the little girl to take her tutor to apply for transfer, which was successfully approved by the leader. As a result, the little girl only came to the company for half a year and began to take over the projects in the hands of her mentor. A lot of questions, meetings and PPT poured in like an avalanche. Even though the little girl works overtime to 1 1 every night, she still can't help it. During the meeting, tears couldn't stop flowing downwards. Later, thanks to her supervisor, the project was redistributed and the departure date of the tutor was postponed, so that the burden of the little girl was reduced.
At Huawei, every day, you may face new challenges. You must always be highly active and ready for the battle. When the job is given to you, you must be responsible for it to the end. Things must stop here, there must be a deadline.
Secondly, Huawei's assessment mechanism is extremely cruel and the competition for talents is extremely fierce.
Huawei's wolf culture has always been imitated, but it has never been surpassed, because it has penetrated into all aspects of training, management, salary, assessment, etc. After long-term accumulation and precipitation, it has formed a virtuous circle and pushed this aircraft carrier forward.
For example, Huawei's performance appraisal is differentiated, and the last one is eliminated. The assessment results are directly linked to the year-end bonus, stocks and other income, and the gap is huge.
On the other hand, Huawei attracts a large number of talents with attractive salary and has an extremely perfect training mechanism, so there are many talents inside, and new people come forth in large numbers, and the competition is extremely fierce.
Give another example.
When I was at Huawei, there was a senior in the brother department next door. When I came to Huawei, my first contract was 19, and he was over 40 years old. The company made it clear in advance that it would not renew his contract with him, so the senior started looking for a job very early, but it lasted for more than half a year and still failed to find a job. He is under a lot of pressure, and his family is old and young, and his anxiety level can be imagined.
After the elder left sadly, he was just a teenager who worked for more than a year, but it didn't make people feel much different.
Huawei's screw culture is really scary.
label
Finally, add two Huawei features.
First, there are many meetings.
Before I left Huawei, my long-term working status was continuous meetings during the day, and training and meetings were also arranged three nights a week. And the time to really settle down and work is really crowded. In particular, the sentence "Welcome to the conference" is soft but powerful.
The second is PPT culture.
Not long after I entered the company, I received an email, the text was basically blank, and the attachment was only a PPT, only 1 page long, and the content was only a few words and numbers. Obviously, the text of an email can solve the problem, but it is a bit exaggerated to write a PPT in an orderly way.
Hello, let me talk about it with a case around me. I don't work in Huawei, but I am a brother in my family. He works in Huawei, mainly in mobile phone development.
He graduated with a master's degree in computer science, and then applied to Huawei for mobile phone development. He told me that Huawei's system can especially cultivate a talent, because when he was only three months old, Huawei arranged a team work for him. He is the team leader to lead a team to develop a project, and then after the project is completed within the specified time, another person will be arranged to become a team to develop another project. This system is very powerful for a person's exercise. Because he just went in, he was a relative rookie, and then he was asked to take himself to develop a project, so people were under great pressure, but his promotion was also great.
What impressed me deeply was that I went to see him twice, but it was ridiculous. Every time is after 10:30 in the evening, because he always has no time and works overtime every time. He told me that it was normal for them to work overtime, and everyone took the initiative to work overtime.
But for us ordinary people, the result is also obvious, because he worked in Huawei for less than two years, and then bought a house in Xi 'an. Although Xi 'an's housing price is not the first in the country, it is also very high for us ordinary people.
In short, for me, Huawei is a person who works hard under pressure and finally gets what he deserves. Isn't that normal? This society should be like this.
I am engaged in software research and development, working in Nanjing Software Avenue, next to Huawei Nanjing Research Institute, so I know Huawei's work better. I hope my answer below will give you some idea of Huawei's work.
operating duty
Huawei's work is mainly divided into business research and development and technical research.
Business R&D refers to the research and development of content that has been transformed into market products, including switch hardware, mobile phone hardware, cloud storage software, industrial control software, security software, communication technology software, software development and so on. After passing the test, it will be put into market operation.
Technology research, as its name implies, mainly studies the technologies in the future market, including switch technology, routing technology, 4G technology many years ago, and 5G technology, Huawei's flagship product in the past two years. Business is the operational guarantee of technology, and technology is the basis of business operation. Both are indispensable. Huawei invests a lot of manpower and material resources in technical research every year.
working hours
As for working hours, Huawei has a wolf culture. The birth of a new technology and product is the result of many R&D engineers working overtime. Overtime is a normal job, and there is usually only one day off on weekends.
Usually Huawei basically works until 10 at night. Every night 10, taxis, Didi and Meituan buses wait for passengers in batches at the gate of Huawei. Software Avenue subway has the largest number of people around 10 every day, and of course there are many people after 12 at night. However, Huawei's daily overtime hours will be clearly recorded, which can be adjusted after a certain period of time and replaced by overtime pay. A friend left Huawei a few days ago. After working in Huawei for six years, the accumulated overtime time is as high as 16 months. When he left, he converted it into RMB at one time. It can be seen that in Huawei, as long as you work hard, you will get something.
salary
Huawei's salary is definitely higher in the industry. Of course, you have to have skill and ability to get it. Huawei invests a lot of money to recruit doctors, master students and undergraduates every year. Every year, Huawei goes directly to the best schools to find the top graduates. Generally speaking, the salary for graduating from a bachelor's degree and just joining Huawei is 1W, which is not capped. At the same time, overtime hours can be converted into wages. In addition, Huawei will sign a Struggler Agreement with new employees, and re-sign the contract after working for Huawei for 8 years. Eight years later, Huawei paid at least 65438 yuan +05W in one lump sum. Taxi subsidy, lunch subsidy, missed meal subsidy and overtime supper are all higher than the market standard.
Overtime treatment
In Huawei, it is normal to work overtime, but it is not normal not to work overtime. However, if you work overtime at Huawei, you will get generous overtime pay and overtime supper. At the same time, overtime hours can be accumulated, which can be overtime pay or holidays. A friend left Huawei the other day. After working in Huawei for 6 years, the accumulated overtime time is as high as 16 months. When you leave, you can convert it into hundreds of thousands of RMB at one time. Overtime is also work or study. People who have worked in Huawei have a halo when they go out. General companies will look at you with new eyes when they see that you are from Huawei. It's really an experience.
The above is my basic understanding of Huawei. In fact, I also know a lot about Huawei's work content and various systems, but I can't go into details. You can trust me privately if you are interested.
You are welcome to express your opinions in the comments section. If you have any better suggestions, please share them with me.
Thank you for inviting me. Every enterprise has its own characteristics. Although I have never worked in Huawei, I have had many contacts. It had two job opportunities, but neither chose to go.
1. When I graduated, my uncle who worked in Huawei recommended me for an interview. The interview was held in Guangzhou Garden Hotel in March, 2005. My uncle pushed me to his immediate supervisor for an interview. At that time, the interview process was simple. I asked a little about my school grades and CET-4 scores, and then took me to various offices for about half a day. Later, my uncle called me and said that I might be assigned to the marketing department to do marketing and asked me if I would like to go. Because my major is computer, I declined.
2. The second time was in 2009. At that time, I had just left a router/switch company in China and attended an interview with Huawei in Shenzhen. I talked on the phone for nearly 30 minutes. I asked some technical questions, mainly about switch configuration and some network knowledge, and finally asked if I could stay in South Africa. Because my main battlefield was in Shanghai at that time, I declined again.
It seems that there is really no fate with Huawei, but many of my classmates and friends work in Huawei.
In the process of communicating with you, most of their feedback is positive, and of course there are some complaints. Generally speaking, their evaluation of Huawei is quite high.
1, employee benefits and wages are all relatively high standards in the industry. Travel subsidies and accommodation standards are relatively high. If you work overtime, you will get free supper and taxi fees, and you will also buy some insurance for employees. Huawei Mall will buy benefits, and family members can get a certain level of relevant subsidies. And real estate companies and schools will give priority to Huawei employees. The canteens in some parks are very annoying, and all kinds of delicious food are available.
2, the pressure is high, it is normal to take a few days off every day in 996, all year round (it is rare to have a double holiday, and you are often in the office state at home), so don't think about taking a vacation unless the position is irrelevant, and then it is normal to get a C in the performance appraisal. Therefore, you must take the initiative to work in Huawei, don't wait for the supervisor to assign you a job, learn to grab things, and try to reflect your value as much as possible, and you can't trust your colleagues too much. )
3. Learning opportunities are also envied by outsiders, including all kinds of learning materials on Huawei intranet, iLearning, large-scale open online courses, 3MS, and there are many other types of materials besides technical materials, not to mention the experience opportunities brought by the post itself.
4. It may be the dream of many people in the workplace to face the big coffee and learn and communicate with the big coffee in the field at close range.
5, a lot of business trips, all kinds of training, exchanges and forums at home and abroad, people often run around on the road, and it takes a long time and is very hard.
6, work report, this is too critical, "Huawei Work Law" emphasizes the first time, take the initiative to report, seek truth from facts, clear purpose, highlight key points, many technical houses are not very good at reporting (technology is awesome), and the result will be defeated by the supervisor.
7. Invisible overtime. How do you say this? Generally speaking, the company only allows you to declare how much overtime you work every week. In fact, overtime hours are longer than the reporting time.
8. Have a sense of superiority. After all, Huawei is the first echelon enterprise in China. People from other companies will be impressed, and relatives and friends will have more face. Job-hopping is also a plus item in the future.
Well, to sum up, the quality of a company mainly depends on personal choice. No matter how good the company is, some people vomit and there are unexpected places. Enterprises are constantly striving to make employees feel happy and have a sense of belonging. If you want to choose ease and peace, then I suggest you not to go to a company like Huawei.
Looking back on more than ten years in the chrysanthemum factory, the past is vivid, and the most elite time in life stayed in Huawei, as if it were yesterday. The feeling for so many years is that I have done many things, both inside and outside, one after another. Anyway, I can't spare the time. I've been very nervous. One of the important reasons why I persist is the generosity of being a teacher. Although I don't need to go to the balcony to bask in the sun as much as the boss said, I finally feel that the hard work has not been in vain.
I have stayed in several units before, and I feel that Huawei's biggest advantage is relative fairness. As long as the work is done, it will be OK, and these things will naturally come up. The relationship between people is relatively simple, and office politics is basically invisible on TV, at least among grassroots employees. Therefore, Huawei is more suitable for newly graduated college students, especially those who are short of money at home. The platform is big enough, how dare you.
Now there are temporary difficulties because of U.S. imperialist sanctions, but with the fighting capacity of the chrysanthemum factory, we will certainly survive this robbery. Bless our old club!
I personally have no experience in Huawei, but my friend's father worked in Huawei. After my friend graduated from college, his father asked him to consider Huawei and once introduced Huawei.
It can be said that most laymen envy people who work in Huawei, but it is not clear how much pressure there is inside and outside Huawei.
Huawei's regular employees are generally graduates with higher education, masters and doctors at school. They have also been interviewed and screened several times, or the elites of external communication companies have jumped ship. As for other companies, I'm not sure.
Employees who have just entered Huawei usually have to go to training for a period of time. After three months on the job, internship positions will be randomly assigned, and each tutor will take them into various project teams to take charge of different project positions. Some of them may also face professional mismatch, so the transition period just entered will basically make many people shrink back.
After the project is approved, there will be more overtime points, but on the whole, overtime is like drinking boiled water. So this day is basically studying, working and working overtime. Incidentally, although we often work overtime, Huawei is absolutely generous with overtime pay. Moreover, in terms of salary, promotion is basically based on your assessment in each period. Basically, it can be said that as long as you have the ability to adapt to Huawei's working atmosphere and stick to it, your promotion and salary increase is definitely not a dream, and Huawei is also relatively open in this respect. At Huawei, you still have the opportunity to be an expatriate, provided that you are good enough, and everything at Huawei is based on ability.
In terms of food, Huawei Park has its own canteen, which is cheap and has many tastes, and can basically meet the dietary needs of all parts of the country. Huawei's internal atmosphere is not bad, and everyone is very enthusiastic. Huawei has also arranged some league building activities, which is also a small exchange meeting within Huawei, where you can meet other technicians, including Gao Feixia, a woman [laughs].
Generally speaking, Huawei is well-paid and well-paid, provided that you have enough ability to enjoy those wages and benefits. Huawei's overtime work is also famous in the industry, but overtime pay is also awesome. Huawei has great internal competition pressure, and it has elimination targets every year, but the internal atmosphere is not dull and heartless. They also have technical exchanges, R&D discussions and group building activities. So as long as you are good enough to survive Huawei's survival rules, you will be absolutely successful in Huawei.
The above is what I got from other people's experiences combined with my own ideas for reference only.
There are many comments on the Internet that exaggerate the work experience in Huawei, many of which are based on self-imagination and nonsense, and some of which are deliberately processed to attract attention. Today, I will introduce you from my friend's real work experience.
There are many kinds of jobs, such as marketing, research and development, production and maintenance. This time, I will talk to you from the perspective of research and development (which is also a concern of many people).
1, overtime. Let's talk about this topic first It's a lot of topics that people talk about online, and it's also a topic that many people hack. In fact, which IT company didn't work overtime? Do any leaders have to work overtime? Indeed, this is called forced overtime, especially on weekends or holidays. In fact, more is active or semi-active overtime. For example, a project needs to be delivered at 6.30, and R&D has made a development plan according to this time point. Every project employee is very aware of this plan and every time point, and Huawei's working atmosphere and team work style require everyone to stare at the work plan and strive to complete it ahead of schedule, so the whole team is this forward-looking work. As a member, you will move forward consciously or unconsciously. If you feel that the plan can't be completed, overtime is necessary, and everyone is working overtime to catch up with the progress. You can't delay the progress of the whole team because of your own work, thus affecting the performance of the team (affecting performance, that is, affecting bonuses).
3. remuneration. This is also the envy of many people. Indeed, working in Huawei is very hard and rewarding. In short, it will make you feel that your efforts are worthwhile. At this point, Huawei is also the upstream of the industry in terms of salary.
4, vision and ability to improve. In large companies, you can get in touch with more external cooperative enterprises, foreign companies and experts. In addition, Huawei has invested heavily in R&D, and Huawei has a lot of cooperation with external companies. Invisible, your vision and ability will be well improved.
Let's talk about the lack of working atmosphere.
1, performance first. Sometimes in performance appraisal, differences between leaders and employees lead to emotional employees, and sometimes there will be disputes between competitive departments for performance. This is inevitable. After all, there is no absolute fairness in this world.
2, the process is supreme. Big companies require strict procedures, so many people who just entered the company are uncomfortable. The advantage of blindly following the process is that the process is relatively perfect, and the project will not make big mistakes, resulting in (1) employees becoming screws (2) project implementation is relatively rigid (3) there are too many meetings and reports, which is also a place where employees are condescending. So now Huawei is gradually implementing "agile work".
I hope it helps you.
First of all, let's learn about Huawei.
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. was established in 1987, and its headquarters is located in Longgang District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, China. Huawei is the world's leading provider of information and communication technology (ICT) solutions, focusing on the ICT field, adhering to steady operation, continuous innovation and open cooperation, building end-to-end solution advantages in the fields of telecom operators, enterprises, terminals and cloud computing, providing competitive ICT solutions, products and services for operators, corporate customers and consumers, and striving to realize the future information society and build a better fully connected world.
Working in such a fast-growing and large-scale Fortune 500 company can be said to be both dignified and stressful. According to unreliable sources, it is common to work overtime in Huawei, but the salary is high and there are opportunities for dividends. The annual year-end bonus is enough to forget your complaints about work stress. If an enterprise wants to develop, especially to have the right to speak internationally, it may need all employees to help each other in the same boat, and Qi Xin will make concerted efforts to go all out. If they get it, they will have to pay the price. If I can achieve the small goal mentioned by Wang Jianlin as soon as possible, why not let me work 24 hours a day, haha!
Huawei is a paradise for employees and a company for employees' purgatory. Huawei has a mixed nature of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises. The staff of the headquarters office buildings of all factories belong to state-owned enterprises. They work from nine to five, have weekends, public holidays, accumulated holidays, high salaries, high bonuses and high benefits. Their works are really cool. Private employees are also very good. Although R&D employees and senior managers work overtime, the bonuses are unimaginable. The bonuses for middle and grass-roots management to complete production and quality tasks are also very good. The director of the lowest workshop is more than 10 thousand every month. Huawei employees can't say it well. The working environment is heavy workload, long working hours, quality and quantity, so the pressure is great. However, Huawei's big companies have many opportunities for promotion. Material management, quality inspection management, technicians and reserve cadres are all promoted to factory directors. Let's talk about the work of employees. Huawei employees opened their eyes wide, as if they were all in the factory and in the workshop. I have to get up at six every day. Those who brush their teeth and wash their faces buy breakfast. At 7: 30, I will go to the workshop to listen to the lecture and shout slogans for half an hour. I work at eight o'clock and get off work at nine o'clock in the evening. When I come back from work, it's almost 1 1 o. What time can I have? I'm just exhausted from crawling around in bed. I was engaged in photovoltaic power generation. At that time, Huawei invested heavily in equipment and had a high degree of mechanization, so its employees had a heavy workload and high speed, and the workshop was very hot and there were many machines (only the assembly workshop of finished products had air conditioning). 1 two main aluminum blocks of a small photovoltaic generator, the small one is 15 and 6 kg, and the large one is over 30 and 40 kg. When processing, dozens of procedures are needed. Do every procedure well, you have to take it, turn it over, install it, check it and then transfer to the next post. Pull and hug, turn up and down, check and check more than 700 times a day on average, tired! It's not that the more you exercise, the greater your strength, but that the more you work, the more tired you get and the weaker your body becomes. I'm too lazy to pee in big places, and my post is full of workpieces. The next work is very hasty and you're welcome. The group leader scolded the director. If there is negligence and mistakes at this time, it is only that the tail inspection did not find them. Found that the next processing department picked the wrong return and found your process post. How many times have small mistakes been accumulated, and how much have all big mistakes been deducted? Fortunately, I didn't escape, and I paid some overtime. There are several processes that are automatically processed by machinery, such as using computer gong, wire cutting, touching sparks and so on. , but they also need to be manually positioned for loading and unloading. Huawei has strength, and one person lets you take a fancy to seven or eight machines. The point is that you don't like machining. If there is a program error or mechanical failure, the knife is broken, the line is broken, and the car is hit, that's a big deal! So some jobs are barely idle, but do you dare to be idle? This must be a continuous monitoring and inspection. Tired and worried, many people can't stand it, so many people quit every day. I don't want to find a job outside, and I heard that Huawei has a lot of overtime pay, so many people join Huawei every day, and so on. Huawei has a little advantage for employees, that is, it deducts this money from employees but does not fire people casually. When entering a job, the first day is recruitment, the second day is safety education, and the third day is familiarization with the working environment. You can eat in the factory for three days and don't want to leave. You don't have to deduct money, and you get paid for three days without working. When you resign, you hand in your report on the first day, check your salary on the second day and pay your salary on the third day. If you don't work these three days, you will get paid. This is the sweetness of Huawei. After all, other private enterprises can't.
Ok, Huawei is here. Are you in?
