Pros

The only reason I can think of is the security in a steady (and somewhat decent...) paycheck in tough times. Base salary is the only compensation you can be confident in. Shady accounting and a constantly moving target make any incentives based on Management Objective basically unatainable.

Cons

Samsung is lacking; in professional courtesy, work to life balance, Management competence and overall employee morale. Postivie reinforcement on a job well done is never given. This is a company that believes it's a waste of time to celebrate the milestones achieved.

Pros

pay is the only reason - I will leave as soon as I'm able

Cons

American workers are merely puppets. The Koreans run the whole show and the dual management structure (One Korean and one American manager) is enough to drive one crazy. The direction is mainly from the immediate American manager but if a Korean manager says something you are expected to say "how high" when they say "jump." There is no communication between groups and no accountability. Promotions are for the most part given to "corp" engineers who are trained straight out of college in the "Samsung Way." One group now managed by a "corp" engineer has an incredibly high turnover rate and yet he is still manager. Diversity is getting better but promotions, hiring, etc. are still dominated by those of Korean origin.

The food / canteen - but we had to pay for it

Cons

terribly toxic, depends on your department. older grads that have stuck it out can become a little bully like too.
