Samsung Research Director 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.

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.

Dislikes

... since a long time promote favouritism without having any technical knowledge 4. Low compensation, even lower than most Indian startups and SSIR. Forget FAANG! 5. High attrition for good engineers 6. Crazy security protocols, lot more than any FAANG. You will feel that you are writing some code for the CIA, when the actual code some PoC and testing! 7. Never confuse SRIB with Samsung. There's hell lot of difference in work, culture and compensation between SRIB and Samsung Korea/US. You would be highly disappointed if you join SRIB considering the brand name of Samsung. 8. Worst quality laptops are given to employees 9. No idea why everyone considers Samsung HQ and Korean as the godfather. Even this type of weird culture is absent in Google or Amazon India.

Teams are small , better for collaboaration. Work life balance is good. Mostly not hectic. Food is good

Dislikes

salary is low compared to other MNC. Slow learning. As it is a R&D organization, you might find the software development type of work is less, though it highly depends on the project

Salary is competitive. They pay good initially. Chilled and pressure less work culture.

Dislikes

Management doesn't give a damn what you are working on. If yku raise your concerns they get angry and stsrt grudging against you. Management is very casual as well and they think they are gods here. Work culture isn't good. Bootlickers excel. No career development as well. If somebody is ambitious I suggest not to stay for more than 2 to 3 years. Process is very very slow from advertising perspective they are using outdated tools as well.
