Pros

1)Good work for some teams 2) Lots of freedom of work

Cons

1) Miserable work culture 2) Insecurity from top to bottom.You work good and you get screwed. 3) No training available. 4) Incompetent managers, no training, no morality. Samsung goes with perceptions and relations! 5) Timings 8.30a.m. You are late, it is half day. Fixed time for lunch. Fixed time for cafe! 6) Hypocracy is style of management. No reverse feedback. Manager can decide anything and say, You have to come on saturday because "I say So" 7)Developers are solely resposible for every thing. Lots of tension which in other companies managers resposibility. 8) No appreciation! Lots of politics 9) No work from home, no trust from employer. They think you will steal the code. 10) Moral lectures with no ground. Pathetic leadership. MD comes late and forces every one to come at 8.30. 11)Spineless managers, schedule,pro-active communications, setting right expectations is crap thing in Samsung. Schedules are done on managers fantasy and developers are screwed till last penny 12) 90% people leave in bad terms and don't come back.Samsung culture makes sure that manager will screw you in resignation period. In all miserable miserable work place. If you have worked in any of US based MNC, don't ever come to samsung. Ever!

Toxic Place to Work In

Pros

Decent office and pantry with a Starbucks in it. Pay is decent but not worth the extra effort.

Cons

Toxic cancerous culture. Heads of Department no experience, no initiative, no leadership. Clueless about running a business. Employees they hire have better knowledge than them. So that employees can be slaves to them. Incompetent bunch of people. Many Head of Departments smoke their way through their career, they are really useless. No work like balance. Everyone is always over working and sick. Morale is always low all the time.

Pros

Ethnic diversity promoted there, and some good-natured people working there...

Cons

...however their values get trashed by the culture which is about running around like a headless chicken, spinning wheels, doing things that don't really add any value just to look busy. Expertise is frowned upon in favour of just spinning wheels and wasting time on pointless leadership team appeasement. Empowerment non-existent in favour of box-ticking for leadership. Very little learning and development at all after the probation period. The epitome of that definition of madness where they just want to do the same thing over and again expecting a different result...but they never get it. Understanding of data and statistics is almost non-existent, with the rule being that it's only used to prove the opinion of the person using it, never to open up learning to inform action. Leadership team is an assortment of people from failed enterprises, not successful and market-beating ones. No internal job move opportunities unless you've been on the grad scheme, then it's a case of rolling out the red carpet. Made a big song and dance about having work-life balance but then those without kids or a significant interest in life outside the 8-6 set the tone for what's expected and aggressively hound those whose work isn't their life. Any expertise you offer will at best be slyly appropriated by the audience and no credit will be given to the source at all - this is the worst organisation I've ever been in for this sort of thing; at worst you'll be openly told off for daring to have an original thought.
