Pros

- The company employ excellent talent, however do not then value the ideas and opinion of those individuals once it is within the organisation. - Samsung is a great name to have on your CV and will open a lot of doors to other organisations

Cons

- There are several incidents of racism, ageism and sexism that occur by the senior management team and there is nobody at a senior level that is willing to challenge those ideas and behaviours. Cultural differences aside, you can't operate in that way within a European environment and it very much compromises your morals and the way in which you are comfortable working. - The company will burn you out and then discard you. There is no loyalty to the "Westerners" they "buy in" to the organisation and the significant efforts they make to the organisation. - Within the European HQ, generally bullying is the management style of choice - Long working hours are expected and are the norm, no appreciation of going over and above will occur and there will be no celebration of successes before having to move rapidly onto the next task.

Pros

telecom industry is very competitive and innovation is appreciated

Cons

but there is a very small marketshare to vie for and the competition is hectic and this makes the work-life balance awry

Not a place for expat

Pros

Good colleagues, nice people to work with.

Cons

Not foreigner friendly, you are not expected to understand or use Korean language, but in the end you are not really contributing a lot without knowing much Korean. Lack of infrastructure for expat, even simple things in life, you have to ask assistance from colleagues or other person. You will definitely end up being the one foreigner in the team. Team is structured based on seniority.
