Pros

Plenty of travel and international work opportunities, especially in the handset division.

Ideal for freshmen to get international exposure.

Plenty of scope for individual contribution.

Cons

Samsung India Software Operations is not really viewed as a "Samsung" brand operation within the Samsung conglomerate. Internally, the identity is simply a diminutive "SISO".

Functionally, it is largely just a liaison or low-cost outsourcing center.

Contemptuous treatment from employees at Korean Headquarters.

This happens at every level, from engineer to manager.

Poor communication with employees at Korean Headquarters.

Insensitive or rude management.

No record of contribution.

Work takes priority over life, 24/7.

Advice to Management

Systematically record employee contributions throughout their employment tenure.

Stay humble. Be sensitive to employees.

Management's outlook should be, "Management exists for employees," and not the other way around, "Employees exist for management."
