Pros

The AI team quality was great, very talented leadership and bright team members. Free snacks. team time is fun. Free food so cannot complain I really enjoyed working with my teammates

Cons

There is no direction, the AI team was severely under utilized. There is too much politics between the teams, anyone who has to deal with the AD Cloud team loses sleep, The Cloud team leadership, technical and non technical is very hard to work with and just plain bad. The cloud team don't know what their customers want, they don't know how to deliver what their customers want, and they create a difficult and poisonous work environment making collaboration among teams impossible. Instead of what the cloud platform customers want, they are more interested in shoving down useless time consuming and expensive architecture down your throats. I do not understand how the NIO management has no idea how to deal with an unproductive team and unused platform. The cloud leadership forced many amazing and strong AI contributors to leave the company.

Pros

When i started at NIO 3yrs ago, My first few months i wanted to leave! only because i was not use to reporting to an individual that i had more experience and knowledge than for my position, Shortly after this person was let go, i was able to run my department the way it should be ran. Other than that, NIO is a great place, with great minds. NIO is a great place to work! Our cars are fabulous!!

Cons

Just like everywhere else, you have your ups and downs.
