Palo Alto, U.S. -- Rumors that jobs cuts were coming had been circulating at Huawei's U.S. research arm for months, but employees at Futurewei say the scale of the downsizing took them by surprise.
The Chinese telecom equipment giant announced on Monday that it was cutting a total of 600 jobs at various Futurewei offices -- roughly 70% of the total workforce -- citing a "curtailment of business operations" caused by the U.S. placing it on an export blacklist.
