Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Samsung does not offer stocks, so bonus rates should be higher.
Review from Engineering Dept
Salary is not that high for the price in bay area. And I believe main R&D team and key engineer should be recognized more than now in terms of salary and perks.
Review from Engineering Dept
As there is no stock and my alumni in the area is getting total compensation 1.5 times of mine.. If you do not want to give us stock, then you should give cash bonus. It is not competitive for SSI to cut bonus on top of fact they do not give stocks.

Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
haven't seen any company so indifferent and not having enough resource to try Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, or LLM.
Review from Engineering Dept
some coworkers seem to be more interested in a competition rather than a cooperation
Review from Engineering Dept
Everybody works on their own without any common goals. The technical quality of the team is very poor. Both are the result of poor management leadership and consistent bad decisions.
Review from Engineering Dept
1. Better communication skills. Managers, especially, should have great communication skills. I struggle with having effective conversations with my manager due to a huge gap in communication. 2. Open-mindedness: The team members should be more open to input during technical discussions
Review from Engineering Dept
The coworkers are not very social and do not care about their colleagues as a person. It makes the work experience a bit monotonous. It is a mixed bag as some coworkers are great and some aren't.
Review from Engineering Dept

Review from Engineering Dept
Companies care about employees, not view them as numbers
Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Improve compensation to retain talent. Give incentives to the most talented people so that their contributions appear appreciated and are properly rewarded. Leadership needs to step up and completely shift the culture. This will be very hard at this stage after so many years of bad management.
Review from Engineering Dept
1. Need clearly laid out tasks and deadlines. Managers should communicate clearly the goals for the projects and how the higher management is responding to the team's progress. 2. For non-SJ sites, there should be lunchtime culture or hobby room in office for people to connect in lunch or afterhour
Review from Engineering Dept
Encourage more collaborative environment, provide holidays for mental health (some companies provide Fridays off for this), better compensation and work recognition , conduct more social events.
Review from Engineering Dept
increase work rate give employee the ability to move between different teams
Review from Engineering Dept
Management needs to change. Talent should be recruited and retained. Performance evaluation needs to be more transparent and provide the right incentives to improve employee performance and retention. Management should make sure people feel as part of the team.

Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
DSK team has really strict and inflexible culture, so communication with the teams and collaboration is super hard. We should have their culture changed.
Review from Engineering Dept
Leaders do not want us working from home and explicitly discouraging working from home not because of business needs but personal preference on work style.
Review from Engineering Dept
all of the sudden too much pressure, very little flexibility. I am expected to work extra hours but in the last years my bonus was cut because of company performance. At the same time the company is not flexible with their policies.
Review from Engineering Dept
Our project, our team, and it seems much of SAIT is being run into the ground by its new appointed leader. It is a shame that a single individual has been given so much power, overriding the wisdom of all the people who work for him.
Review from Engineering Dept
Manager makes me feel like I am useless, cultivate positive environment
