Samsung Research Associate - Team Lead salaries in India

Likes

Good company for freshers from Top colleges. Very happening place, alot of DSA training and weekly 4 hour long single algo test until you pass with 100% accuracy and best efficiency. Alot of activities for innovation and IP creations.

Dislikes

Older employees salary is very less, even Indian companies are paying more. Alot of politics, management is always bussy in many things at same time they know that they are not going to achieve anything. HR is pathetic. Every year they target to reduce 10~15% head count by giving poor ratings in manual evaluations. But they never layoff group and team heads. Indian managers spend all time to manage Korean counter part and MD.

Brand value. Good salary. Too much politics. Everybody is pulling each other legs. If you are an IITian you should definitely join samsung. You will enjoy here. You will get the retention bonus, favourism and no need to work. You can prepare for competition with extra money. But if you are not IITian, then you have to work and HR/manager will sit on your chest everyday. You will not get recognition, promotion or increment. If you want to work then work else go. Nobody cares.

Dislikes

Bell curve Less job security. You can be fired anytime No skill development No work life balance. You are sitting idle but you have to complete 9 hours in office. May be in future they will monitor your mouse movement. HR are useless. Don't know why they are in the company.

... the only thing which one can like since the Managers don't want to go anywhere. Bonuses are great and Increment especially during Salary Normalisation. Free Transport and Free Lunch is what they lure you with

Dislikes

Atrocious Work Environment specially designed by the No. 1 Information Security Team. I was the part of this God Forsaken Team and the Senior Managers Daga Gogo and Teja fried and ate us alive. They don't have idea of the skill set you carry and only believe in Favouritism and Politics. They only want Girls (with legs wide open) and bootlickers who can say yes to their demands. No Skill development , No Learning, No dedicated domain for specialization you'll have to do everything including hammering Laptops before Scrapping and it doesn't matter if you are an L3 Engineer or Manager you still have to do it. All they want to do is save money especially the No. 1 Information Security Team(don't know for whom). Total disregard for life of employees or their family especially during the Pandemic. All they want to do is have Morning Meeting and TTT and laugh out. No WFH especially for people serving Notice Period.
