Samsung Electronics reviews

-Politically named senior managers that have NO idea what they're doing, no desire to listen, you take the fall if they mess up, no work life balance, a lot of working hours, cultural barriers, it systems you will find only in that company, you either adapt or leave.

The company does not operate on meritocracy. The tenure upon hire system for the Koreans and age-based advancement system drastically reduces employees' incentive to perform and instead propagates a lot of politics. More importantly, this environment slows down the skill development of its employees. There is widespread incompetence across multiple divisions, whether, technical, financial, legal, or corporate management. For example, investment committee heads who don't understand basic finance concepts or technical directors who can't read drawings. If one enters as a specialist in a certain field, Koreans will block every attempt to improve existing systems because of their fear of being exposed and general resentment about being paid less than foreigners. Most foreign hires are reduced to figurehead positions with no decision making power.
