My experience working at CNH Industrial India (Software Engineering)

Hi everyone,

I worked at CNH Industrial India for the last few years, and now that I've left the company, I wanted to share my experience so that prospective software engineers have a realistic idea of what they might encounter.

To begin with, the product itself is genuinely impressive. The team works on Precision Agriculture products involving sensors, telemetry, embedded systems, cloud connectivity, and high-throughput software. From a technology standpoint, it's an exciting domain with the potential to build meaningful products.

Unfortunately, my experience with the engineering leadership in India did not match the quality of the product.

i. Rigid work policies now

The India head, Mr. Narin*** Mi***al, enforced office attendance policies with little flexibility. Work-from-home was generally not allowed except for specific support situations. At the same time, employees were often expected to be available even after office hours if work demanded it. The emphasis seemed to be on physical presence rather than outcomes.

ii. Avoid the FCOVI (Field Computers & Offboard Vehicle Integration) team if your goal is learning

If you're joining as an intern, apprentice, or software engineer and have a choice of teams, I would personally avoid FCOVI.

In my experience, there was very little focus on learning and development. The engineering manager lacked the technical depth needed to effectively mentor engineers or evaluate technical work. Performance discussions often revolved around bug counts rather than feature complexity, architectural improvements, or long-term engineering impact.

The management style also created an environment where employees felt that recognition depended more on managerial discretion than on their actual contributions.

1. Technical leadership issues

The architects in the organization often appeared constrained by management priorities, spending significant time preparing presentations instead of focusing on technical direction.

In my own team, I also experienced situations where accountability was frequently avoided, communication wasn't always transparent, and technical decisions were sometimes influenced more by management optics than engineering quality. Late night work is awarded more than the effecient working.

Create more backlog for more visibility. Let the system be trashy, so that people get more work.

I dare you Mr. Ma**** Dh***a, head of FCOVI to create one High level technical diagram. Okay, you are an engineering manager, I will spare the diagrams. I dare you to explain one complex logic of your product.

You don't organise any event, it was done by a group of software engineers of your team.

You don't provide any inputs. You even lag in facilitating or coordinating with your global head. You should know, people are licking your rear. I am sorry, but this is not done. You can't just enjoy your expensive home and car when your employees are slogging and your apprentices are unpaid.

1. Notice period experience

One of the most disappointing parts of my experience was during my notice period.

Once I had resigned, it felt like past work was viewed through a completely different lens. Bugs and implementation issues were disproportionately attributed to me, while contributions made over the years seemed to receive little acknowledgment. Whether intentional or not, it created an environment where blame became easier than constructive knowledge transfer. And I know from my friends, still in the company, even after I left, I was blamed for the issues and bugs that I didn't even introduce.

If you are reading this, Mr. T***n**et Singh, you know I am talking about you, you lying incompetent vermin. I even dare you to design a resilient system you fake architect.

1. Employee engagement misses the real issues

The HR team organized festivals, events, and engagement activities, which are appreciated.

However, from conversations with many colleagues, what employees really wanted was better work-life balance, more flexible work policies, improved technical leadership, and a healthier engineering culture. Those changes would likely have a much greater positive impact than occasional engagement events.

Final thoughts

This is, of course, my personal experience, and others may have had different ones.

I genuinely believe CNH builds excellent products and has talented engineers. That's what makes my experience more disappointing. Strong products deserve equally strong engineering leadership, transparent performance evaluation, and a culture that supports learning and growth. Employees are really really supportive and great though.

I hope this feedback reaches the global leadership at CNH Industrial. My intention isn't to discourage people from the company entirely, but to highlight issues that I believe are worth addressing so future engineers have a better experience than I did. Please stop the wrong hirings. It is better to have good L&D than hire someone who lie and is incompetent and only know how to talk random gibberishes. Your products are suffering because of this.

Okay, SO I graduated last year, over the past year I have actively built my skills in SQL, Power BI, python, excel.
I made solid projects. But i have no experience, no internships nothing.
But I got this opportunity from one company through a referral.
It's not data analyst role, It's NON-IT.

6 MONTHS PAID: 15K

Their JD is something like:

"Role Description The Growth Intern will support companies expansion by assisting with user acquisition, engagement, and retention initiatives.
involves collaborating with the growth, product, and sales teams to execute campaigns, analyze performance data, and identify opportunities for improvement.
Day-to-day tasks may include conducting market research, supporting growth experiments and outreach activities, coordinating small projects, and preparing performance reports and presentations.
The intern will help streamline processes, document learnings, and contribute ideas for optimizing user journeys, partnerships, and revenue channels. This role offers exposure to a fast-paced AI startup environment and hands-on experience in growth strategy and execution."

It basically is B2B company, I have to actively participate in brand collaborations etc.

In this cooked job market, should i take this job and get some domain knowledge? PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME OUT.

Joining my 3rd sem of engineering soon and the analysis paralysis is hitting so heavy. I keep skipping between DSA, Web Dev, and AI/ML. Bouncing back and forth here and there, but I just can't seem to settle on one domain man.I got my hands dirty with HTML/CSS and started JS, but the CSS part made me so cranky lol. Flexbox and grid were confusing as hell so I dropped it. Earlier I tried learning C++ and dev together and it was a mess, so I decided to just focus purely on DSA.But now I'm thinking of learning Python and diving into ML. I want to do all of it but I can't even settle on one. Plan right now is giving 1 hour a day to basic GeeksforGeeks questions, but for tech domain, should I go with Dev or AI? How do you break out of this loop?

Indian job listings show "CTC" — a heavily inflated number. "₹18 LPA" is really \~₹1.05L/month in hand after tax + EPF, and that's before variable pay/RSUs. I built SalaryLens to show real take-home inline on LinkedIn/Naukri job posts.

Features:

\- Parses salary on the page → real monthly in-hand, rendered on the post

\- Estimates when salary is hidden (role + \~90 companies), honest "not enough data" fallback

\- Cash vs stock/RSU split, new tax regime FY25-26, EPF/gratuity/prof-tax

\- MV3, React + TS, \~117KB. On-device only, no signup/tracking

Dev note: the hardest part was anchoring the UI on LinkedIn — no <h1>, fully obfuscated class names that change, and SPA navigation with no page reload. Ended up anchoring off the largest visible /jobs/view/ link and climbing out of the flex row.

The project is primarily intended to help the police in my city monitor situations that could potentially lead to harm to individuals or the public. It would analyze public posts and public comments to identify content that may indicate emerging threats or dangerous situations. In a way, it can be considered a sentiment analysis system designed for law enforcement.

However, the project requires a live data feed. Reddit has effectively stopped providing the level of API access needed for this use case, Meta's APIs (Facebook and Instagram) are too restrictive to be useful, and Twitter (X) API access is paid. At the moment, the only options I can think of are web scraping or using downloaded datasets.

The problem with downloaded datasets is that the project is specific to a single city—Surat, India—so historical datasets may not contain the localized, real-time information needed for effective monitoring.

We are hiring full stack developers at WizBay. You’ll work on building, maintaining, and improving our web platform, handling both backend and frontend tasks, integrating APIs, and ensuring smooth performance.

What We’re Looking For:

Strong experience with Node.js and backend frameworks (Express.js, etc.)

Familiarity with databases (MongoDB, SQL, or NoSQL)

Experience with frontend frameworks (React, Angular, Vue.js) is a plus

Knowledge of RESTful APIs and version control (Git)

Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

Location: Remote

Candidate must be from India

Compensation: $600-800
