            You can get good salary and bonuses If you want to make some quick bucks and use this place as transition then it is okay otherwise donot join.

            Cons

            No work life balance [you have to sit 9+ hrs even if you don't have work] No real work Multiple teams on same floor fighting over a same project Discrimination by Headquarters, They donot trust Bangalore office No challenging work, 30-40% of engineers are passing time, I anticipate layoffs in next year Leadership is hiring from top IITs and paying them double of salary of existing experienced employees I never met a single Samsung employee who says that he has proud and happy working in Samsung

                  Pros

                  Good location, nice office. Starting early office gives a good time overlap with Korea. This helps starting to office very early and leaving early. This way Bangalore traffic can be avoided and a good work life balance can be maintained

                  Cons

                  Samsung as a Company seldom has any vision. It is primarily western focus, or at times eyes at what far east (Japan) is doing. The work here is just a blind replication of what happening in west and far east. There are no ethics and morality. No respect for intellectual property. Copying and replicating is a daily job

                    Pros

                    It is the biggest R&D center outside of Korea. Even during recession time, this company did not layoff a single person, infact it has grown. The work is good, if you get into a development project.

                    Cons

                    At times work is hectic and can hit ur normal work life balance Got pissed off with few ight security policies

                      Is there an ‘active job seeker’ icon for recruiters on LinkedIn the way there is an ‘actively recruiting’ icon for job seekers?

                      Senior Resource Manager

                      Last Thursday and Friday I interviewed with 2 hiring managers for 2 different companies. Both of them said they’d like me to progress to the next interview and the recruiter would reach out. One company said they wanted a offer out this month so it would be a quick process. I sent thank you emails and references. I haven’t heard from either recruiter. I had the recruiter screening and hiring manager interview just days apart, I thought I’d hear back by now. Thoughts?!
