Pros

Pros are all talk. Any claims you see of "people first organization", "flexible working days or hours", "work life balance" are all BS. Trauma bonding with co-workers is fun. Discounted snacks and meals at on-site cafe. Literally the only positive thing that comes from being a Samsung employee. Discount on Samsung products is not that great

Cons

Most toxic working environemnt Untrustworthy leadership, teams that are only out for themselves, willing to backstab anyone to try and take credit for tasks or projects. Systems and technology are beyond subpar using outdated laptops, Microsoft products from 2014 and 2016, with any new opportunities to enhance systems immediately denied. Long, thankless hours and completely unreasonable expectations are the norm. No one is allowed to actually succeed or truly grow and bonuses are all based on a quota system no matter how well you perform. If you love being the scapegoat for poor management, lack or any type of clear guidelines, and a delusional Korean HQ, you will thrive at Samsung

Cons

Bullying, racism and sexism. Very political. Too many people with psychopathic traits! Never seen that in any other company.

Pros

Brand Name (Has a strong brand name to bring in talent)

Cons

Culturally challenged environment Do not recommend if you have a mind of your own to make change for the better. The Koreans Leader just want to keep business as normal and not rock their boat while they are on oversea assignment. Recommended if you are korean, speak korean and can follow instruction mindlessly.
