SRA [Samsung research America, mountain view] pay
Hello blind, my first post here, I have got positive feedback from SRA as cloud engineer, recruiter haven't told me anything about the pay range initially, could you please help me with pay scale. does Samsung low baller? My background :- YOE : 6.5yrs Role @SRA : cloud engineer Currently : contracting at KP. other companies interviews in pipeline workday, amazon, oracle, Salesforce, service now. thanks for your help.
Thanks a lot for your feedback, currently I have other interviews in final stage. Do you suggest me to hold on negotiating with HR at this time ? I spoke with one of the employe who is recently leaving SRA per him Samsung usually a low bowler. Somehow the HR during interview process SRA pays competitive salary can I pitch in for $200k + as base?
Unlikely. Maybe if you have a strong competing offer.
Which team? SRA doesnt give stock and they usually have clawback period for signing bonus. Your best bet is to negotiate +15% whatever base they say, plus 20%whatever bonus they give as part of signing. Then negotiate the clawback period to at most 2 years. Then negotiate LTIP because they don't give stock. They won't tell you about ltip but think of it like retention bonus. You can ask for retention bonus from the year your signing bonus clawback expires and have it no strings attached. Get everything in writing.
Oh wow thanks for the all the details I have a call today with HR, your information certainly help me. Cheers Will keep posted after the call with HR.
It’s knox team
I think you could but it depends the level, they are having a hard time to recruit and a lot of good engineers have left. They might meet you half way
For sure hoping for the best 😁🙌
Set your expectations right though. It's a shit place to work for
Yup somehow hear lot of negative comments
take Salesforce or service now if you want peace of mind.
Interview process is slow for sales force am on track for service now
Agreed. If you have another offer go for the other one. Things are bad right now... If you don't you can always do 2 years and then leave for Facebook or Google. Almost all the good eng. have left to go there
Yes Its recommend to take other offers, if any
Knox is a piece of crap, controlled not by Samsung electronics, but by Samsung SDS
Live oak is correct. Also tons of crap from headquarters in Korea that you will need to deal with. Bow down to the Korean overlords. I will try to see if you can find other offers from amazon, sales force or even service now. I am willing to bet the latter can beat what sra is willing to pay you.
they usually do in my experience but cash is good. If you have a counter offer they will match for sure
