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)

Likes

... the only thing which one can like since the Managers don't want to go anywhere. Bonuses are great and Increment especially during Salary Normalisation. Free Transport and Free Lunch is what they lure you with

Dislikes

Atrocious Work Environment specially designed by the No. 1 Information Security Team. I was the part of this God Forsaken Team and the Senior Managers Daga Gogo and Teja fried and ate us alive. They don't have idea of the skill set you carry and only believe in Favouritism and Politics. They only want Girls (with legs wide open) and bootlickers who can say yes to their demands. No Skill development , No Learning, No dedicated domain for specialization you'll have to do everything including hammering Laptops before Scrapping and it doesn't matter if you are an L3 Engineer or Manager you still have to do it. All they want to do is save money especially the No. 1 Information Security Team(don't know for whom). Total disregard for life of employees or their family especially during the Pandemic. All they want to do is have Morning Meeting and TTT and laugh out. No WFH especially for people serving Notice Period.
