Its corporate site groups the business into six units: Consumer, Enterprise, Carrier, Huawei Cloud, Digital Power and Intelligent Automotive Solution.

Shenzhen is home base, and the campus careers portal is published in Chinese. Its recent announcements set the calendar for students. Intern recruitment for the class of 2027 opened on March 15, 2026. Graduate recruitment for the class of 2026 opened on August 15, 2025.

The US picture is very different. Huawei Technologies USA, Inc. submitted no H-1B labor condition applications (LCAs) in calendar 2025.
R&D accounts for more than half of the workforce. At December 31, 2025, 114,000 people worked in R&D, about 53.7% of staff. Ownership sits with the workforce as well. At that date the company was wholly owned by 169,054 employees and retired beneficiaries, and founder Ren Zhengfei held nearly 0.59% of the share capital. US sponsorship has faded out. LCA filings by Huawei Technologies USA, Inc. numbered two in calendar 2016 and one in calendar 2017, and none in any year since.
