Pros

Good salary and benefits, management pays for meals sometimes too

Cons

I resigned after 6 months and I was happy to leave. There was no onboarding program. There was no clarity on management expectations and what my role will look like. Things were constantly changing and there was no time for any proper communication. I didn't have a manager to report to for first 3 months, then a manager was hired who left after 3 months - he had no background in Instructional Design or Training. There was very high workload and work-life balance was not good. I requested for training and it was rejected even though the training was for a new type of ID work that was not discussed at the interview or documented in the job description. Lots of surprises, not very pleasant. As an ID, there was very little action taken based on best practices and data driven decision making. Decisions were made based on whatever the manager representing 'client' Samsung wanted. There was lots of micro aggression, no documented best practices and a top down approach focused on 'the client' manager instead of evidence based approach that shows what works and what doesn't work. If you are a fast paced worker who keeps quiet and does work exactly as the 'client' wants, then you're ok but if you ask questions or suggest other approaches, you may be subject to excessive criticism, passive aggressive behavior, blame game and abandonment.
