Dislikes

Working environment.is not too good . Just because of Management decisions employees have to work on saturday and Sundays. There is no proper planning before start working. In India office they don't have even proper HR policies. Seems that everything is running on temporary basis. People who work very hard they did not get appreciation. People close to Management give wrong advice to management. Overall before joining xagroup think twice....Read More

Dislikes

Salary does not come on time for the employees working in India. There is no HR portal. Managers, tech leads don't have enough knowledge how to take work from developers as they are not clear about requirements People join and leave with in three months due to pathetic work process. And there are no benefits. It's a start up .

Nothing. Avoid this company at all cost. Any skilled person with self respect will not work in this company.

Dislikes

1. They have serious financial issues. He hire and fire people in weeks without giving any valid reason to cover up for their financial mess. Salary are delayed by approx 3 to 4 weeks. The crazy part is - the salaries are given based on priority. In the first month, I got my salary on the last day of the month whereas for the same month - the India employees got salaries after 2 weeks. 2. They extract free work by giving assignment to the interviewing candidate under the pretext of technical evaluation. I have seen the actual task that the team is working on is handed over as assignment. 3. The director of AI is an egoistic and sick person. He is technically incapable and to safeguard his position resorts to threats and toxic behaviour. The director of AI feels challenged from any skills data scientist and will find ways to fire him. He himself have like 5 months of professional job experience and dont know how - this company has made him director of ai. He is only comfortable in working with freshers as they feel threatened by him and the can feel in control and satisfy his ego. 4. The director of ai - does not know much about tech stack. For example, he told me to run code in jupyter notebook cell by cell instead of giving him modular code in python scripts. He did not understand that training transformer model needs GPUs and expected to train a transformer model on 1 - 16GB GPU. He does not use git or any version control and copies files all day long from one system to another. 5. The data pipeline is a mess. They save data like a college kid saving files on his laptop. They save raw and annotated data in the same place and the trained models are saved in the same location. Total mess. The old code are mess with random variables, no comments. The director of ai expects the random old code to work because he was fooled by ex employees into believing that the code works and he has memorised the codes. So, he will now want people to make this code work without any change. 6. The director of ai has memorised code from old employees. So, he thinks that there is only one code to solve the problem. The irony is - if you give him a better modular code, he will not be able to comprehend. 7. Director of AI is a will call each 1 on 1 person like 6 times a day under random pretext. He is so insecure that he will not allow 2 team members to communicate. 8. The middle management is papered by the CTO and the employees are blamed for the company's bad decisions. The middle management of this company is showing off that they are contributing by conducting random meetings. 9. They have constant lay off and they fire senior data scientist and data scientist within weeks of joining just because the director of ai felt insecure. 10. The HR department of this company is random, unreachable. They had shared 5 copies of offer letter to me, because each version of the letter had a typo. One you are fired or laid off from the company, they will try to make excuses to not pay the full amount of your FNF. 11. Check their Job Postings, they post for the same position every 2 months. The reason is they hire make people solve their problems and then fire them. They then hire new set of people and then repeat the same storey. 12. The India employees use to work from 8:15 AM till well past midnight. If you work in this company from more than 3 months - slavery and negative self esteem would become your inherent traits. So, stay away from this company....Read More
