Samsung Research America Reviews

Pros

I've been with the company for about 3 years now. SRA makes an effort to hear its employees and creates many opportunities for employees to voice their concerns. Joon makes an effort to improve our workplace and works closely with HR to ensure we are heard. I've gotten to know Joon through some of the meetings I've attended and I think he does his best to communicate with everyone of all different levels. HR does a great job onboarding remote employees and ensuring they have everything they need to get started. It has been really difficult for everyone since the pandemic hit and I've seen the effort everyone makes to keep it going.

Cons

There are no cons to note at the moment

Pros

Pride to work for one of the world's best employers; many opportunities to work on exciting projects across a wide range of consumer electronic devices; very nice and smart colleagues around; most co-workers are hardworking and professional.

Cons

compensation is not as good as FAANG mostly due to no stock options
