Dislikes

.... Crazy differentiation between IIT and non IIT an. No appreciation for efforts. Biggggg difference in salary between IIT and non IIT professionals. Non employee friendly environment. Restrictions on taking laptop to out of office even during COVID times. Huge restrictions on accessing websites. Everything is through disorganised workflows. Workwise : Huge politics. Inefficient and incapable leads(don't know how to code) leading the team. Doesn't have any idea on the working and discourages openly when suggested ideas. SRIB should take action on this. Heavy Korean driven projects resulting in scrapping of many projects. Maintainence work happening.

Always competition and same kind of work done by 2~5 team . While joining you will get good salary later it will not . There will be often hike .

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

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.
