Samsung Research R&D Engineer Reviews

Likes

Some benefits like Diwali discount on smartphones, free breakfast/lunch, free transport, sponsored education, occasional amazon coupons,

Dislikes

Among the rarest companies which asked to WFO in pandemic. Very Few perks when compared to top tech companies. No growth by skills. Huge compensation parity with IIT and NonIIT in the same level. Zero Normalization. Credits stolen by Incompetent Managers. Top heavy organization (surplus managers-few engineers) Politics at its best. Monarchy is followed. Software Engineering team (testing&devops) works like clerical support to development. No transparency in policy....Read More

Transport : (But the Team leader ensure that you come at 8:15AM using office bus and leave late after 12 Working hours. Cabs are provide to those employes only who have worked for 11hrs in office on that day.) Food: (But now It's quantity/quality decreases due to low budget) Other Things are worst here.

Dislikes

All thing are hell here, let's discuss one by one. ------ 1. Working Hours: They treat you like labours, and asked you to support for 12-13 hours daily any time, even on weekends. If you refused, they will threat for giving low score in MBO(evaluation). Sometimes, On leaving from office, they have tried to block by way or himiliatedme. ------ 2. Work : They will always ask you to finish the Issue analysis within 10 minutes to submit report to MD of company by making them urgent Issue(everything is urgent here). And manager convert the office into jail by saying that "Nobody will be going to left the office utill Issue finished" at 5PM. Moreover, most of the work here is meaning for carrer growth. Most of manager/leader are from TCS/Wipro/Worst companies. ------ 3. Leaves: They asked you to work on Leaves days also irrespective of your condition. Many times they forced me to hard/intense work although I have 102F fever/body pain/headache,etc. They provide no leaves in commercialization period (for 5-6 month). ------ 4. Evaluation: They provide meet rating to 75% employees and good rating to only 15% employes, who are best sycophant of Part Leader/Manager. Note: ratings doesn't depent on your work. ------- 5.Salary: They will provide 1.8X salary to IIT college as compare to NIT or IIIT or others for same wok and post. Salary hike is only 5-6%. Overall salary is less than the industry level(Donot see the CTC). Also behave in good manager with iitians as compare to others. ------- 6. Firing: They fire 10-20% employess every year and threat other if they do not support for 12hrs in offce. Recently they fires 20% employess through mass firing. Hence, no job security. ------ Still if you to join unmanaged company for money and make your life hell, Then, It's your choose....Read More

Company culture is really good, and employee benefits really shows the organization cares about it's employees. Women employees get one extra leave each month.

Dislikes

I had left due to my High exoectation in matters of quality of work that I get to do. I was already an expert in my area of LTE and CUPS. The work that I was getting was not up to my expectation. Hence I decided to leave, but that was an extremely personal choice, which maybe 95% people wouldn't make.

Likes

Work life balance is good. Not much work to do. If you're someone who wants to just relax and retire then this company is fine for you. You can easily spend your life here not working.

Dislikes

No work from home at all. Go to office daily and spend 8.5 hours in office compulsory. No learning and growth. Comfort zone which will make you obsolete in the market and you'll never be able to leave this company. Low hikes/5-10% max. A lot of politics. People in this company since 10-15 years are at the top and they don't have any skills so they want their subordinates to not learn anything also otherwise subordinates will replace them. They're insecure and will not let you implement anything innovative in the team. No work in the name of AI. ONLY HQ IN KOREA WORKS ON AI. INDIANS ARE JUST BUG FIXING SUPPORT PEOPLE...Read More

8:30hrs mandatory inside office. 30min you can go outside, if not then that will be deducted from your working hours. Stupid management decisions I have ever seen. No WFH policy If you are working with foreign team then your manager will have no direct visibility of your work. Rating is fixed for everyone, whether you do less or more work.

worst company to work with is SRIB, samsung research India , bangalore. Any branch in India is worst to work with

Dislikes

All bangalore / Indian team are all slav____ to HQ / Korean team. All leaders are from Korean team. No leaders allowed to control anything. Even if become director / VP, you don't have any control here. Koreans have kept Indians like slav---- Unnecessary work pressure. No software quality. Everything is hidden. It is hire and fire company. somehow they will do the buisness by giving offers. After sometime it will not work . Don't join samsung anywhere in India. All are treated as slav___ by HQ / Korean team. No control in India. Recruitment team is giving 5 ratings in reviews. Don't trust this company...Read More

Food is great. Worklife balance is great. No one will call after 5 pm. And expect you to work. Depends on some teams.

Dislikes

Worst company to work in if you want to develop your skills. There is redundant work and monotonous work every day. Also, the upper management is very weak. They understand that Koreans are God for them. Whatever they say will have to be done either way. They don’t have spine to stand up for themselves. Also talking about the managers. Most of the managers are womanisers and the rating is based on who the manager likes and what that person is able to give to that manager. I faced the same thing in my team. It is not based on what skill you have, or how much you have done for the team, how much work you you are showing. It always depends whether you are ready to sit in the car with your manager or not worst company to work in terms of all these things. I am glad I left it....Read More

Feels like a government job. You can just draw salary from this company. There is no new work so you can easily come to the office and chill.

Dislikes

There is nothing to like about this company specially in the operations department. The management is the worst they do not give a damn about you and your growth. No benefits until you butter the manager. People who work here are more concerned about other people’s work, if they are doing good instead of improving they start bitching about that person. No growth. Boring work.
