      Koreans Rule Samsung

      Administrative assistant

      Pros

      The people are the best reason by Far to work for Samsung.

      Cons

      Probably 85% of employees are outsourced - only upper management are permanent employees. Samsung also has VERY high turnover - people drop like flies there. Samsung is a Korean company - but the Koreans micromanage EVERY aspect of business-to the point it's counter-productive. Everything has to have approval from Koreans prior to coming to fruition - and Koreans will ask a million questions about why you are requesting whatever it is you want. Way too many hands in the pot. Also-Koreans don't like anyone who is not Korean or at the very least Asian. All upper-management is Korean.

      Advice for the humanity

      Manager @ marketing
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you are a Manager, the salary and benefits. If you are a lower employee, salary is extremely low, there contract are temporarely and there management put a "shield" between them and you. The only reason to jion Samsung if you are a young one is that ofter a couple of years, at every door where you will knock someone will open and will give you an interview. The brand is very powerfull but there man do not count inside the company.

      Cons

      Koreans want to put their mind and taste in Europe. But it cannot works.

      Don't do it

      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.
