Is working at Facebook a bad career move?
You'll always have ethical concerns when working at a multi-national, multi-million dollar Enterprise. I don't think anyone is particularly looking at your background from an ethical perspective. We (as in general public) still hire people from the government for instance, who are from the military.

However, Huawei is particularly in the spotlight for US national security reasons, possibly leading to perceiving involvement with Huawei as a liability.

Given the increasing US-China tensions, the beginnings of a so-called "AI arms race', and Huawei's use of employees to breach the trust of other companies, would this make an employee seen as a potential risk to US companies? It may sound paranoid, but even unfounded rumors can have an effect if a company is paranoid as well!
