Pros

The pay was decent and overtime was always available

Cons

Managment was terrible, did not provide any support to employees, couldn't assist with basic needs or questions. Supervisors would often verbally harass associates. Would have your job or position threatened to force you to "volunteer" for extra duties Work life balance is terrible, consistently worked 6 days 12 hours a day or more. Safety was terrible and associates were often made to perform unsafe tasks.

Pros

I rate Samsung very high because I like this company and the effort they do. I had very good relation with the HQ, the VP and the directors.

Cons

I read in previous reviews that the atmosphere at Samsung Staines is very toxic. Some have said that they had bad experience working with people of Indian origins. I don't generalize, but my experience working in a team where the majority were of Indian origin was not good. I felt there is a lot favoritism and pressure. Hindi is the main language (we're living in England). They use their mother tongue as a language of exchange, so that you don't understand. You feel you're there, but outside what is happening. A complete dilemma. The team lead is very rude and offensive. I had to report him to the HR, but I did not do. I don't like to report. I joined the company to work and promote the business. Finally, a European R&D should receive people with a research background. People who have validated their degree in Europe or got an equivalent of the degree they hold.

Pros

Great brand, customers love the products and services. Good employment conditions, pay and bonuses.

Cons

Long approval and archaic process. Bad internal email system that is global. Loads of influence from Korean xpats that undermine the good work done by senior managers and directors. Significant limitations on using software that enables flexible information sharing. There is a hidden harshness and HR is 100% for the employer and not employee. Loads of good people are cut based on company wide performance.
