Samsung Electronics reviews

What an awful place to work. There is a serious lack of management - senior management is generally Korean and therefore there is a big language barrier. Majority of these managers have gained their positions due to their nationality and not their skills, qualifications or experience. You find yourself making most (if not all) of the big decisions on behalf of management. It really is the blind leading the blind. You will struggle to gain any recognition or growth unless you are Korean. It is a company that operates very much like a small business yet it is a multinational company?! There is no structure whatsoever. No building maintenance, guidelines, processes or training. Actually, you do get training, but on how to address Korean people (not how to use Samsung’s systems etc.) - and that’s only if you are permanent! No ability to work from home - in fact you can’t even use a USB stick without permission from HQ. It really is an absurd place to work. Samsung’s staff turnover is shockingly high - for a reason! In my time there I never once had any discussions about future development, progression etc. It’s like you get a position and you’re stuck there for life.

Let me give you a little taste of Samsung UK; Management have no people management skills - some barely have people skills Senior Managers only acknowledge their favourites or whoever is wearing the shortest skirt. This company treats staff like little school children. No Career Development Path, training and career progression paths are non-existent Lack of support from management in some departments, lots of back-stabbing going on too No home working with pointless meetings with very hostile colleagues at times. You are simple there to say yes sir and do as you told, too many lazy bum, asking questions and trying to use resources (when there are resources available) is as useful as talking to a wall. Stressfull working conditions, lots of free-riders who should have been fired a long time ago. In the end, very low level of managers and training.
