Pros

Innovative brilliantly smart products fuel card

Cons

Alot of backstabbing and unprofessionalism Consumer company doesn't get Enterprise even though the products are enterprise ready the management aren't! very rich company but doesn't want to invest in supporting teams in enterprise to drive customer awareness Company places too much priority on internal meetings to discuss and plan which leaves us no time to speak to our external customers, then you get slammed for not selling enough! Korean company in Australia... Koreans are rude and arrogant to the Australian workers with visible eye rolling and shaking their heads at you or grunting when you walk past. work life balance is a joke - if you want to shorten your life by half come work here. average of 80 hours a week is normal. even then you still are behind due to the endless internal meetings. no career advancement unless you have a korean passport Other staff don't support you or respond to your requests as their either in another useless internal meeting or drowning in responding to missed work due to the infinite internal meetings. Enterprise business with weekly pipeline review meetings. Enterprise sales cycle is not the same as consumer. should be a monthly review for enterprise. again another time wasting meeting.

Pros

Initially the management made it sound like this newly formed Regional HQ for the C&T parent from Korea could really be a one in a life time opportunity but it never panned out. The office's geographical territory was supposed to be all of the Americas (North, Central and Latin America).

Cons

The scope of control of this office has been since reduced to the U.S. only except for Power and Healthcare projects. The Korean leadership distrusts the U.S. leadership hired to manage the office. This constant distrust and power struggle is tangible & even new employees with less than 2 months tenure are already begining to realize.

Pros

1)Good work for some teams 2) Lots of freedom of work

Cons

1) Miserable work culture 2) Insecurity from top to bottom.You work good and you get screwed. 3) No training available. 4) Incompetent managers, no training, no morality. Samsung goes with perceptions and relations! 5) Timings 8.30a.m. You are late, it is half day. Fixed time for lunch. Fixed time for cafe! 6) Hypocracy is style of management. No reverse feedback. Manager can decide anything and say, You have to come on saturday because "I say So" 7)Developers are solely resposible for every thing. Lots of tension which in other companies managers resposibility. 8) No appreciation! Lots of politics 9) No work from home, no trust from employer. They think you will steal the code. 10) Moral lectures with no ground. Pathetic leadership. MD comes late and forces every one to come at 8.30. 11)Spineless managers, schedule,pro-active communications, setting right expectations is crap thing in Samsung. Schedules are done on managers fantasy and developers are screwed till last penny 12) 90% people leave in bad terms and don't come back.Samsung culture makes sure that manager will screw you in resignation period. In all miserable miserable work place. If you have worked in any of US based MNC, don't ever come to samsung. Ever!
