Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Huawei Technologies
Interview
Interview process required detailed presentation of project management style and skills. However when offered the role, the JD was different and role was a lower grade title. I thought it was unprofessional of Huawei to mislead the interviewee.
Planning for the interview started with a recruiter contact me through linked in.
The interview was setup with their director of PM - who is based in US, but deputed from China
Timing was flexible, but it got postponed due to mutual unavailability
The interview itself was less than co-ordial
The role sounded secondary to R&D based in China. Travel to China was reqd, but thats not a big surprise
Surprising that customers are in the US, but still decision making seemed to be based in mainland
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Huawei Technologies (Santa Clara, CA) in Sep 2010
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiting firm working on behalf of Huawei and got to interview with a Director and her boss, a VP/CMO in their Santa Clara office. The lady was very nice and cordial, but the guy was absolutely arrogant, and obnoxious. He kept answering his phone in the middle of the interview, and said that my work at my previous company didn't count for much at all. Finally, when it was my turn to ask him questions, I turned the tables on him, and told him that the Huawei's margins were way too thin to be competitive in the future (quoting from a WSJ article). He then went off on a rant about how the American media was biased against China, but then finally complimented me on doing good research on the company. The lady then got back to me 2 weeks later and asked me to come in for a 2nd round but I politely declined by saying that I had another job offer.
