Maternity benefits as I am pregnant and can see how valuable they are.

Review from Engineering Dept

Overall package /bonus is good

Review from Sales Dept

the eMBO and the good figure for base

Review from Engineering Dept

The health plan and the car allowance

Review from Customer Support Dept

Cash, no stock, fairly easy to predict actual payout.

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

I like working for this company and I truly appreciate all the opportunities this company provides, so, I just think increasing compensation to meet market standards (as other companies give stocks) would motivate the employees a bit more.

Review from Operations Dept

A compensation which is equal to the level of experience.

Review from Engineering Dept

Compared to other people, I think I got good achievements in a short time, for that, I have been tried to make a lot of efforts but I think the compensation about my output is a little and I want to get more bonus corresponding to my efforts

Review from Product Dept

compensation in line with industry standards and raises that are consistent with cost of living increases

Review from Operations Dept

raises could be higher as they are below inflation

Review from Engineering Dept

Base Salary similar to other major Companies

Review from Engineering Dept

for same year of experience, I would expect higher salary

Review from Engineering Dept

The dispatcher pays less compared to local employment and it is difficult to live in the bay area.

Review from Sales Dept

Not confident about the new eMBO bonus program this year. It is supposed to be part of my salary and i feel like it will be challenging to receive max

Review from Sales Dept

I was brought in at a level that was below my skillset. Through conversations with my manager, I do believe that will be corrected but will not have full understanding until compensation review is completed in March.

Review from HR Dept

Pay is very low compared to bay area market.

Review from Operations Dept

Better transparency with yearly rating system. Currently changes are made to ratings without feedback to employees.

Review from Sales Dept

Prefer not to talk about it here

Review from Sales Dept

I feel with inflation, salaries at SSI have not kept up. I also understand with the state of the company, raises and bonuses need to slow to avoid layoffs, which I appreciate. I have faith that once we regain financial health, this issue will be considered and resolved.

Review from Operations Dept

I feel compensation should be strictly based on performance rather than other factors like budget restrictions. This might sound unrealistic but to do so otherwise leaves allot of "gray" area to consider.

Review from Sales Dept

It would be nice to give a feedback when the leaders rate the final GPMS. The long term incentive bonus should be equally provided based on the performance not about the politics. Also, my personal MBO% (15%) should be increased to at least 20% as other colleagues with my same level..

Review from Sales Dept

I have been putting 150% in my job and doing what I believe is best for the company and have increased the business and the relationship with my customer, but I have been in the same position for 4 years now and it does not seem like I am getting noticed to go to the next level in my career.
