TOXIC, HORRIBLE company

Pros

They pay well and have good benefits.

Cons

The have a toxic, aggressive, sexist culture that make people the worst version of themselves. I was verbally harassed and degraded on a weekly basis by colleagues and forced to work nights and weekends and an average of 60-70 hours per week. The company new employee training includes a module on how to navigate theKorean binge drinking culture. You were expected to binge drink at company functions if you wanted to get ahead. The company culture is sexist. One example, I had a female colleague who was asked in an interview for a promotion "If you are selected for this promotion who will take care of your kids?" This is an awful place to work. I highly recommend seeking employment anywhere but Samsung.

Pros

- Great teammates in PH - Okay local leadership - Somehow flexible working arrangements - Bonuses - Convertible leave credits - Team outings / activities - Free trainings , certifications and online courses - Item discounts

Cons

- Salary is okay somehow , but the amount of work and responsibilities assigned to you will make you feel underpaid - You are expected to work beyond your role , I accepted extra workload out of goodwill (not on my job desc) but when I reprioritized my real role I was escalated - No spot increases - Outdated mindset of project leads - Delivery centric where the quality of delivered software is overlooked (release by hook or by crook) - Deadlines are already in set even if there is no initial plan for the release - PH employees are always blamed even though the issue is not on our side - PH project leads have no voice in terms of release schedules (even in planning meetings PH PLs are not included - dates are just given to us with unclear reqs) - Micromanaging - Low increase

Pros

Good perks like RRSP, insurance

Cons

It used to be an amazing company when it was Adgear… but it changed a LOT. - The new HR team is just really really bad: they don’t know the laws, they are heartless, they do nothing to help you when you need help. They refuse to let you work abroad even for a day if you are not Canadian…whereas there is absolutely no official law about working abroad. They are useless during a conflict between employees, they focus only on the company reputation - that’s all. Furthermore, they don’t want to provide a work visa even if you have your CSQ while you are waiting for your PR (how crazy is that?) - since the merger and the new structure, the management became toxic. The jobs are not interesting anymore - no more challenges, your entire day is dedicated to resolve issues between coworkers. Just don’t work for this company if you don’t want to be disappointed - I loved it for a couple years, but since the reorg, my last year was a nightmare.
