Great Place to Work

Engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Work is very interesting in CPU and GPU development. Very strategic to Samsung's growth to Number 1 position in Semiconductors worldwide. People are technically outstanding as SARC has done an excellent job of recruiting the best and brightest. No ego's policy is adhered to. Leadership at the Group Manager, Director and VP level is awesome!

Cons

Need to hire more people. Only limitation is the location of the facility but SARC is moving to a new location in July and that should help.

Business Outlook

Pros

Ready to spend money on resources. Company promotes innovation and is eager to get IP. So, that makes them faster to act on these front.

Cons

Lack of transparency Employees are in dark about everything including how appraisal has been done, what work is in the pipeline, or any such thing. Poor management leaves almost no flexibility for developers to think and act at their own. Long working hour.
