FAQ
About the Platform
What is ZTEIST?
ZTEIST is a colleagues-and-alumni community for everyone who has been part of ZTE — helping you find old colleagues, match resources, and create and win together. The name blends "ZTE" with the suffix "-ist", meaning "a ZTE person".
What is ZTEIST's relationship with ZTE Corporation?
Our members are mainly former employees of ZTE Corporation and its subsidiaries. Beyond that, ZTEIST has no legal relationship with ZTE Corporation.
Is the platform free?
Currently free; any future paid tiers will be announced in the Member Center.
