Samsung Research General Manager salaries in Bangalore / Bengaluru (Updated 2025)

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.

Likes

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

Likes

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 Process is very very slow from advertising perspective they are using outdated tools as well.

Do not confuse between Samsung and Samsung R&D (the former will have better ratings/reviews on glassdoor/ambitionbox as it is purely sales/marketing/corporate/operations/manufacturing. The engineering is under Research (SRI-Bangalore/Noida) Brand Name Free and variety of good food Initial Hike while onboarding Top Management Job security Princely treatment for a month just before SCI(samsung culture index survey) which impacts line managers/leads If you stay here for 5y+ then be sure to retire here because no other company would hire you dumbs. Hence people completing 10/15/20 glorious years

Dislikes

...nt have any IT/Programming/People skills but surviving somehow with Excel/ppt 7. IIT/NIT recruits and Regulars have huge pay parity at same level. Even then IIT/NITians leave within 2-3yrs span bcz of declining growth. 8. Substandard development 9. Only focus on long approval/workflow security processes 10. Politics at its best 11. All achievements like best employers is for Samsung Research America/Canada dont be fooled thinking its India because they promote it that way.
