Pros

- Interesting projects to work on - Good salary and benefits - Good name on your CV, but know what you're signing up for (see Cons)

Cons

- Mentally prepare to see your hard work be destroyed by utterly incompetent local management, over and over again. - HQ leadership / mindset are very good, but often out of touch with what really goes on in this department. - Forget about career progression here, local management goal is to do as less as possible while getting away with it. If you oppose this mindset you will be targeted and gaslighted, they'll go far and wide to protect their little circle. - For these reasons this was by far the most toxic and depressing place I've personally ever worked, with reasonably crazy high turn-overs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have been warned. That been said, my advice to you is: give it a shot and see how it goes, but always keep an opened mind and be ready to jump off.

Pros

- Good teammates - Good benefits

Cons

This company is the reason I still have burnout after 2 years. Imagine having to do overtime work everyday and no weekends for 2 months straight just to deliver something that barely works. No rewards or anything even if you are one of the top contributor on the team, all you get is more work. This company is the perfect example for famous saying: "The reward for good work, is more work" The Korean counterparts always assigns deadlines even if they still have no clue what they want! Much worse is that our PH bosses / managers can barely do anything with that decision, they just seem to be middlemen from PH developers to Korean bosses.

Pros

They pay well and have good benefits.

Cons

The have a toxic, aggressive, sexist culture that make people the worst version of themselves. I was verbally harassed and degraded on a weekly basis by colleagues and forced to work nights and weekends and an average of 60-70 hours per week. The company new employee training includes a module on how to navigate theKorean binge drinking culture. You were expected to binge drink at company functions if you wanted to get ahead. The company culture is sexist. One example, I had a female colleague who was asked in an interview for a promotion "If you are selected for this promotion who will take care of your kids?" This is an awful place to work. I highly recommend seeking employment anywhere but Samsung.
