Pros

Great name on your CV. Work with many dedicated and smart people in their field. Great support from peers.

Cons

Horrible management. Many Korean managers have been there for a long time. Due to being pigeon-holed in a unique environment,their skill sets became narrow and therefore make them not employable elsewhere. This has caused them to feel insecure, paranoid and jealous of other younger employees whom they think might outshine them. Lack of flexibility in the environment. Unecessarily hierarchical and the obsession with attention to detail wears staff out.

Cons

Abusive atmosphere No autonomy Red tape everywhere Now matter what level you are, you are just executing You won’t get far here unless you are Korean Also they tend to prefer to hire Koreans HR does not care if management abuses you and turns the other cheek Everyone is stressed and miserable Benefits Subpar medical benefits 2 weeks of maternity leave Medical leave is shady parameters Politically- right leaning Perks are terrible - it takes months to get the friends and family discounts for the devices and when you do- you get better deals on amazon. If you are lucky to get vacation approval from management

Pros

Great Pay, Great Benefits and Products

Cons

Hierarchical, which would be fine if leadership were stronger. Nepotism is rampant with a healthy dose of extremely, unethical and unprofessional behavior from Sr. Leadership on down. There is a sickness within Samsung, that has been compounded, from previous Sr. Directors to the newest leadership and offices.
