Pros

Pros? A good team that supports one another mentally.

Cons

Everything. From a mentally crazy boss who curses at you, physically abused (pokes your shoulder, hits you on the back with a big smack, uses a pen to hit your cheek) and gives you the worst directions, making you do the most ridiculous things ever and even questions why you leave on time (despite having work done) and why can’t you work on weekends. Forces you to submit a full fledge excel tracker within 30 minutes, mind you it was requested that moment and it’s a brand new tracker to plot. Telling you there’s no such thing as try your best, u must do it there and then. All she needs to hear is “Yes boss. Ok boss. Will do it boss”. If you intend to apply for a role here, take my advice and don’t even bother. Your mental health is worth more than the salary here.

Pros

- World class organisation, proven themselves to be incredibly successful over decades - Huge resource pool to spend on projects - Generally talented colleagues - Formal and clear structure to get promoted/advance - Fairly merocratic ie if you perform well, you are rewarded - Good perks (staff discount, office facilities) - Good pay, certainly one of the best in the industry (though not up to Google, Apple etc)

Cons

- Korean culture is pervasive. In brief this means: know when to just do something and not argue with superiors, very numbers driven, work hard ethos - As with all companies there are politics. What can make this more difficult is that the Koreans hold a lot of power, but discuss things in Korean only groups. - If you are a poor performer, you will quickly be moved out of the business

Pros

If you are desperate about names, yes you get a sad “samsung” name on your resume.

Cons

Toxic culture and there is no life work balance. You quickly become arrogant after working in corporate factory and start delusion-ally think you are accomplished and well off which are incorrect as you are a just number. Pathetic place and sad employees.
