Pros

There we no "pros" attached to working for this bullying thug of corporate mess. Take my sincerest advice and don't look for work here.

Cons

Long (unpaid) working hours - 60 - 70 hrs a week being the expected norm (paid for 37) No support nor even understanding of nature and complexity of work from management with zero engineering capability (being wholly sales focussed). Entrenched culture of employee expendability Very poor engineering capability (verging on dangerous incompetence) Heavily reliant on cheap (desperate?) migrant labour from EU and Asian Subcontinent

Pros

No pros I can think of.

Cons

AI Hub is a wing within Schneider Electric which has pathetic work culture and very bad leadership. The India leader of AI Hub goes up to the extent of abusing resources in Hindi. Not open to any ideas from subordinates its just my way or highway. Lot of micro management where the VP attends daily scrum meetings and scold the engineering team. You will not have any hikes and the VP makes sure that you do not even get your variable pay. You will always be scared that you will be thrown out of the company if you do not do what I say. HR is also aware but they are hand in hand with the AI Hub Indian VP.

Pros

The pay is decent and the benefits are fair. Office is close to public transportation, and although modern, very much has a start-up feel to it

Cons

This is an absolutely horrible place to work. You are micromanaged at every moment, continuously challenged and never allowed to try new ideas. The products are designed to fail and consistency full of quick fixes that only add to the never ending increase in technical debt. Very high turnover in this company. At least 15-20% of the full time staff left in the last 6 months, many of them senior people.
