Samsung Electronics reviews

Horrible culture. Very Korean culture that isn't adjusted in any way for US based employees. It feels like you are occupied by a foreign country. Work life balance doesn't exist unless you luck out and get a good boss who can shelter you from headquarters culture. And even then they have very limited power to do so. And US employees including leaders have little to no autonomy to make strategic decisions or push new initiatives. If it didn't come from headquarters, it isn't accepted.

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.
