Pros

Highly successful in the market. Big budgets and well respected in the market. Looks good on the CV and plenty of market momentum.

Cons

Very aggressive and siloed. Limited collaboration and top down culture. No work life balance or flexibility. Lots of unhappy people working here.

Pros

Health benefit is good. Good bonus. Mostly not busy.

Cons

The culture is rotten from the root. From HQ, the very heirarchical culture gives little respect and room of freedom to lower level engineers. Being a remote office in San Jose, we did not get to experience the worst. But the local management here is super impowered over those ruled engineers. Power plays. Opaque.. Favoritism. Politics. Zero trust top down. It is very difficult to feel proud and willing to contribute when knowing that as an employee you are not really treated as part of the company. The best way to get company or organizational update is via Internet or grapevine. Several almost got their pays doubled over several years, while most hardly moved an inch. A few are very happy, most however are exploited. The company force installs spyware on employees computers. employees are not the esset of the company. There is some fundamental philosophical problems with the company and the local management.

Pros

good benefits, decent cafeteria food

Cons

this place is driven by politics, data doesn't drive decisions... it's flat, they outsource everything and don't promote from within. if you're female good lucking moving up here. this company will use you, so if you want to come here it's good to have samsung on your resume, that's about all you will get from here. overall this is the worst company i've ever worked for hands down.
