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

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.

Good Work-life balance, Great small-small perks like free lunch, transportation, Snacks, Communication Allowance etc, these helps in saving a lot of money. Every once in a year you get to go to South Korea.

Dislikes

...whole time on many days and that's another problem you have to sit for 8.30 Hrs. to mark attendance or complete the weekly time and shortfall you have to apply leaves or pay from salary. They recently started Hybrid Model but it also monitors your work time and even a small difference will get your name in mail from Attendance Team.

Only good thing is cafeteria.

Dislikes

... the industry here it is lower. Lot of bias between IIT,NITs and other colleges. If you have IIT/NIT tag and working in same team then you get much lesser package, also not so good treatment.

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.
