Worst experience working at Samsung Bangalore, US returned

Last year SRIB recruited about a dozen people returning from abroad. Many of us are suffering due to hopeless mentality of HR and managers. -- managers steal your ideas, take credit for your work -- HR is the worst, never responds to anything -- IT support is pathetic, very reactive and inefficient -- don't buy what they sell during interviews, like patent, papers, etc. Every thing has to go through an approval process that is not transparent -- promotion is not based on your performance -- promotion process is not opaque -- they give annual awards, that process is also opaque -- food is hopeless, very poor quality, limited, cafeteria is like a third grade hostel, don't feel like eating there -- people who are part heads and group heads are there from last 10-15 years, they treat you like a slave -- company rarely hires part and group heads from outside. Only people who spent >10-15 years in SRIB become PH and GH. There is sh*t level of politics. -- Korean bosses decide if your solution should go into product or not according to their whim -- not much fun, no social events, feels like you came to funeral every day -- except part head, group heads, most people are freshers, high attrition, says everything wrong with SRIB -- they do not disclose their attrition rate, overall management is very opaque -- your comp will reduce after 2 years as joining and retention bonus stops after 2 years -- every manager, part and group heads are micromanagers. Lots of microaggressions from managers in a daily basis, which is considered normal here -- no trust on employees, toxic workplace If you worked in US or outside India, I can assure you, you will go mad. AVOID AT ALL COSTS IF YOU ARE NRI NOT WORTH IT DM me if you want personal advice. I am saying this as a current employee who joined a couple of months ago. PhD from Germany, worked in NY before returning to India TC: 80 lpa #engineering #software #swe #samsung #samsungelectronics #samsunglife #samsungnext

Wonder where you worked in New york? Coz outside Europe, that’s pretty much how the work culture is in tech (more or less)

Sorry, but that’s not true. Performance is rewarded well in US, but India you have no visibility without your manager.

Tell me about it! I suffered and managed to escape in 6 months. It’s an asylum.

Recently I interviewed with Samsung's GPU team, after 5 rounds they asked my expectations and took payslips etc and then after a day they came back that we cannot match your current compensation !!

The HR is shit. I am sure you must have had delayed interview, scheduling goof ups, careless recruiters and many many issues. This place is full of dissatisfied souls so arrogant they can't find a job anywhere else

Common experience I can say with 100% conviction. Run and don't come back. I grew old fast during my tenure and left too late at my 5th year

Hi, I have one SWC Professional test coming up for lateral hire ... Are we allowed to use the stl library (std/c++)?
