Pros

Nice onsite restaurant, some benefits, work-life balance has improved dramatically because of less work being given by HQ.

Cons

Projects get canned every year and career path goes haywire. SRUK is just like a offshoring center with 1 year projects that need to be negotiated with HQ every year. SRUK should not be called samsung and a separate entity. Contractors form a very high percentage of employees and they enjoy more clout, power, money and influence in the company. There are many contractors for a very long time spanning years. When projects are closed (there is at least one big project) then permies and contractors are treated the same, shown the door or placed in other projects, no difference at all, it feels like being contractor is better. Very demoralizing environment as the business is not doing good. The future of SRUK is getting bleaker everyday but a number of people are living in oblivion.

Pros

They offer good pay and cover housing so you can save a lot. Plus, if you are an expat you pay lower taxes. You get privileges that other expats may not - access to certain leaders, events, passes on certain silly things required of locals.

Cons

Expats are often promised the ability to work for a global company but the environment in Korea is, well, Korean. It requires that the expat adapt a lot to the local culture and environment and though during interviews and sell dinners you are promised faster advancement or the ability to shake things up b/c they need your diverse thought and opinion, the reality is, it's much easier for everyone if people adapt to the status quo, which is what happens.
