Dislikes

...ndemic. 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.

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

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

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.

Frequent Business Travel chances are there. Before Covid, work-life balance and culture were good, and Project quality is good. you can keep up with Coding practice always as they help with practicing for pro and expert level of exams in organization.

Dislikes

...rk from home is not allowed generally. This started for the 1st time in Covid. Too much of cost cutting tectics in Covid, no team lunch no team outing, no use of team funding, removed bday gifts and every other ocassion gifts. Total saving of team funding.

Work life balance is good and starting pay is decent. You get to travel to Korea on business trips.

Dislikes

Career growth/ learning, development is often stagnant or in negative direction. Rating policy and increment system is inherently flawed. Day to day work importance is not given.(Side projects like patent and professional test will decide your annual rating even if someone work 10hrs/day)
