Huawei Technologies India Pvt. Ltd was assessed on two primary parameters called Trust Index© and Culture Audit©. The company was noted as one with plenty of opportunities, learning and growth for employees, and helpful and cooperative teams.
The employees also appreciated the core values of the company that include attributes such as no distinction of employees based on seniority level, lots of opportunities to prove skills, and how the company valued its people even in such challenging times. Even amidst the raging pandemic compensation was given to all employees in time along with a merit-based bonus at year-end in addition to monetary recognition for outstanding performers.
Appreciating the work culture at the company, Huawei HR Business Partner – Consumer Software Business Line, Chiranjeevi Gandham said he is proud to say that Huawei completed 11 years at Huawei Bangalore Research Center.
“I have enjoyed coming to work every day and working in such a friendly atmosphere. The learning opportunities are immense, the challenges hone one’s skills to becoming the sharpest. Huawei has a culture that cares for employees’ growth and development,” said Chiranjeevi Gandham.
Chiranjeevi Gandham said Huawei values its employees by providing the employees and their families with excellent benefits like health insurance, paid leaves, campus gym, training and development in latest technologies etc. “It is inspiring to work for a company which honestly wants to do right for their customers and employees,” said Chiranjeevi Gandham.
Echoing similar feelings, Ankit Mathur, Senior Technical Advisor and Storage Protocol/NAS Ecosystem Expert, Huawei said, four years back when he joined Huawei, they were setting up a storage excellence and competency center, attracting the brightest from the market.
“Huawei made positive changes in its people policies, significantly enhanced the office experience and streamlined on-boarding and setting up. But at the center of it, what has remained constant is its merit-driven culture. Despite the huge size of the organization, each year Huawei has made positive changes to grow into a better place to work,” said Ankit Mathur.
Ankit Mathur said the last year has been very challenging for everyone across the globe. “The management team at Huawei in India has not only focused on physical and mental health of employees by organizing fitness events, celebrating fun events together online, but has also prepared in advance for any medical emergencies faced by employees and families by tying up with hospitals, arranging a backup ambulance, setting up vaccination facilities, etc. which proved life-saving for some of my friends. These only go on to say that they care,” said Ankit Mathur.
