Pros

Samsung make amazing products but: * in Australia don't care about staff, partners or customers. Its about Revenue $ and Bonus time for SLT. * They have limited green credentials as a manufacturer and should be doing more for the environment.

Cons

* With a deeply entrenched Korean expat Management system, there is zero opportunity for growth, ever. * Senior Management Team who use bullying tactics and coercion on staff to achieve sales results to drive their quarterly bonus payouts. * Male dominated environment complete with matching egos, there is little to no female leaders who are advocating change in the structure. * While pay is average, you will hand over your soul in exchange and demanded of to compromise your ethics and morals daily, all to make $$$ and profits. * Life work balance is non existent, forget about support if you have a family. * No people care factor: During the pandemic, staff were not supported at all. - Without so much as a phone call to check on my wellbeing, in multiple lockdowns from my direct manager. - Smartwatches were provided to staff in September21 but in exchange a linkedin social post was demanded by SLT "to show how much they care" on social media. *The Korean Leadership view is that Australians are lazy. Don't work here if you are looking for a supportive organisation who invests in staff.

Pros

Hard to get fired at

Cons

Management from Headquarters to VPs to Dispatchers is horrible. No respect. Pay is not good. Not enough staff since people keep quitting. I would not recommend working here until they start to bring in better leaders to the company that understands respect.

Pros

Singaporeans here are okay and easy to work with. Mega fast pace environment, good if you like efficiency.

Cons

Alot of cons: - top down structure - korean dynasty, only koreans will progress and all top managment are korean - in out gantry to track all your movement including toilet time - crazy working hours, expected to work on weekends - emails coming in every minute of the day. You can work till 12am and start work the next day at 9am, but having 30 emails to clear in the morning. - pay doesn't match out with similar external roles - staff turnover here is less than 1 year, people come and go very quickly and processes are all new.
