What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Mentorship and developing talent - this is a huge gap in the leadership culture here
Review from Marketing Dept
there is no Silicon valley's horizontal or inclusive culture here
Review from Engineering Dept
Better understand the business conditions and competitive landscape and implement appropriate actions to enable Samsung to grow.
Review from Sales Dept
expecting to work 12 hours a day and also over the weekend shall be for an emergency and shall be compensated (most of all considering that salaries are not the most competitive)
Review from Engineering Dept
too much bullshit and brainwashing; not really addressing the issues;
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
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
Coworkers need to follow through on their commitments that they make to my customers
Review from Sales Dept
some coworkers seem to be more interested in a competition rather than a cooperation
Review from Engineering Dept
certain team just hiring who ever they interviewed. new hire quality is getting worse and worse
Better technical skills, better communication skills
Review from IT Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
More supportive managers that create an environment where I feel comfortable to try new things. We need more of a 'fail fast' culture and viewing setbacks that come with growth as positive learning opportunities.
Review from Marketing Dept
More accountability, less bureaucracy, more transparency
Review from Sales Dept
Company does a lot of team building activities to boost team morale, but work is so busy, I amd sometimes my team mates have to sit out.
Review from Marketing Dept
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
More focus on improving how we do business - reducing unnecessary overlap between DSA and DSK, enabling more empowerment and authority for local teams, improving clarity on who owns what in DSK and DSK team taking ownership for things they own

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Team environment - the manager needs to create a more positive atmosphere where I feel I am contributing, growing, learning, and have clarity about my purpose at work.
Review from Marketing Dept
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
Need to make significant changes in our business processes and responsiveness to have a chance of being competitive
Review from Sales 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.
