• ZTE is a really bad employer. Ignore the fake positive reviews, they are all posted by ZTE management stooges.

• This company has no morals or scruples. What kind of a company sends out global emails telling employees that they will be rewarded for bringing forth trade information on the competitor? This is outright illegal and puts the employee in trouble with the law. Who wants to work for a company that promotes illegal behavior????   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• (...). No respect for Employees and very discriminatory. Getting a raise does not exist in this company.
  
  No proper equipment to work with.

• If I could give a zero star rating this would be the company that deserves it. Where to start??? I took this job because the market was in bad shape much against the many warnings from my peers, but you do what you have to do to pay the bills. Yes the previous reviews are very true; the pay is lousy and there it's no chance for a raise until you have handed in your resignation, HQ will send out reprimands to employees via email copying in the whole company globally if you can believe it. The hours are poor and they totally bait and switch you from verbal offer to the day you join so be careful if you decide to go against your better judgement and work there. The majority of the staff have no regard for common hygiene so be prepared to get sick a number of times during your tenure until your immune system builds up. What these guys need to realize is that we're in CANADA so we have something called human rights and safety controls. Racism and ageism runs rampant with the mgmt. I only wish there had been comments posted on this site before I even accepted an interview and ignored my initial gut feeling. People seen to use this as a stopover until a better job comes along.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• ZTE Canada = Joke company that doesn't recognize any value in its employees. Driven by illegal business. No respect for own employees. Wouldn't recommend. Stay away.

• ZTE Canada is a regional branch of ZTE, a Chinese corporation. As such, it's strictly manged by Chinese policies and regulations. This company should not operate in Canada as it does not abide by Canadian laws and ethics.
  
  Poor management, corrupt HR practices, unequal treatment of employees, employee harrassment, unethical and unfair business dealings, lack of internal communication, no advancement/promotion/recognition opportunities, the list goes on.
  
  How do you rate a company that doesn't pay its own employees on time (and doesn't have a valid explanation for doing so), takes bribes and sabotages its own employees, not to mention discrimination by race, age or background? You be the judge.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• This company is managed by incompetent leaders who are afraid/unable to make simple business decisions. Forget about advancement or a raise here, you'll be lucky to get your parking pass or your laptop they stipulated in the contract. I've joined full time but have to sign contracts with arbitrary renewal dates from time to time, not to mention it's full of contradicting and grammatically incorrect clauses.
  
  This is a company that will ask you to do a job but won't give you the right tools to do so. I was once given a task to do but given no details about it because it was "secret". They don't trust their own employees. Company policies (HR, IT, Finance) are set up in such a way to make your job difficult and inefficient which in turn end up costing company money.
  
  Employee retention is non-existent here. Turn-over is vicious. All the smart employees leave within months of realizing what this place is all about (yes, I know, makes me not-so-smart still working here).
  
  Your only hope here is to negotiate a good starting salary and stay out of the way.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• Mediocre oriental sweatshop offering dead-end jobs in run-down, crowded facilities. It doesn't come any worse.

• ZTE Canada is so bad I would give a "0" rating to all categories, but that's not possible. The worst ever.

• Wow! Lots of comments here to sort through and distinguish the real from the fake. I will say that reading some of these comments it appears that a lot of the positive reviews and oddly placed press releases seem to be the work of management or the employees that are in the country on visitor visas and working illegally. Take heed!
  
  Let me lay it out to you straight and you can make your own decision from there.
  
  The Good - Convenient location on the subway line. Lots of nice people that are great workers and very smart. Get to work in the P&G building where they will invite you to the Employee Sales and you can take advantage of P&G's subsidized cafeteria every day.
  
  The Bad - Pay is below average. They tend to bring you on as an Incorporation on contract with the promise of full time with benefits but that day will never come for you. Clear cultural divide amongst the Chinese Nationals and the Canadian workers. There is absolutely no succession planning or increases given until you have a foot out of the door. I've been witness to many corrupt practices that I have not witnessed in any other company I've worked in.
  
  (...).
  
  All in all, if you're out of a job and need some income this place will get you through the gap until you find a decent place to work. Just be prepared for what you are getting yourself into.
  
  There you have it!   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• A joke in the industry. Treats all it's employees like garbage. High tech employment with a stench of a company. Salary well below industry average.

• I don't want to work for this company any longer. If you are from China, you will meet lots of new friends. And will get your working Visa. Mandarin speaking is very helpful for promotion.

• Let's see, where do I start, there is nothing good about this company other than it's trying to gain market dominance by brute force. No respect for the client, cannot keep any commitment, harsh treatment of its employees. It's impossible to advance here, unless if you speak Chinese.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• Pathetic. That's one word how I would describe working here. They don't honour your work contract. No flexible work hours. Upper management ignores all your concerns and complaints. Not a very friendly atmosphere.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• If you are a local employee- forget about any decision making ability. This is the most siloed and bureaucratic places I have ever worked. I am not sure what the criteria is to be a manager in this company but competance is not high on the priorities. They will try to low-ball everyone for salary and then turn around and offer the sun moon and stars to someone less qualified based on who they know.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• Mediocre joke of a company - I have to laugh at all these phony reviews that were posted here by some shill in the company management. Don't be fooled - the place stinks and you should stay away as far as possible.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• Hmmm, not much good can be said about ZTE Canada. Let me rephrase that, nothing good can be said about ZTE Canada. The management seems very weak. Layers upon layers of beaurocratic processes, especially when it comes to approvals and general decision making. Unfair and discriminatory HR policies. Unethical and corrupt business practice.
  
  If you'd like to work in a place where everything is out of place, illegal, unethical and immoral, ZTE Canada is your place.
  
  Oh, forgot to mention that you'll get harassed every once in a while. Why, sometimes there's nothing better than a kick in the arse to boost your morale and productivity.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• I've been here for 2 years and its rates as one of the better places that i have worked at.
  
  Canadian website was taken down recently, so the future for these A-holes in Canada is questionable it would seem.   read complete rating Hide complete rating

• Some companies have great benefits. Others have great management. Yet others have smart and comfortable office environment. Most pay their employees on time. Pretty much all of them have employee retention programs in place.
  
  ZTE Canada has neither of these.
  
  They do, however, have a great program in place. It's called "If you're not Chinese, you're a slave" program. Apparently there are some incentives with this program, but I haven't figured out what they are.   read complete rating Hide complete rating
