Internship Experience at Samsung R&D Institute (SRIB), Bangalore

SRIB - Phoenix Building

Samsung selected around 30-35 interns for summer internship program from my college in third year of engineering. They short listed students on the basis of aptitude test which mainly consisted of c/c++ programming questions. They offered stipend of Rs 25k per month.

They reimbursed our to and fro airplane tickets and provided accomodation for 7 days at  a three star hotel in bangalore. First seven days of internship were like heaven because of good stay , really good food and dj masti and no work :) As large number of students from same class were recruited ,it was a total fun at Samsung internship.

SRIB - Orion Building

The office was very big.. There were two buildings Orion and Phoenix. Phoenix was a new building

and the infra of phoenix was really good. I was allocated a cubicle in Orion building. The teams and projects were allocated randomly and some interns got very good projects. The best thing about Samsung is they allow you to work on the projects that can be their major ongoing projects. I was a part of Digital TV Team. I was working on the project related to TV graphics.

The perks at Samsung are really good. Free Food (Lunch and Dinner ,Veg/Non Veg, Desserts :P ), Unlimited tea,coffee and Cold drinks :D... Free AC Bus Transport :) ..Chocolates/gifts on birthday, Team Lunch.. We went twice for team lunch.

The best thing about internship at SRIB that you get to make friends from different college (IITs, NITs) and there is a good time interacting with them. Samsung recruited around 400 interns from different college at that time. The PPOs were also given to around 20 students from my college.

The overall experience of working at Samsung as an intern was really good. You get to learn a lot. I miss those days :'(
