Pros

Big company with a great brand in the market as far as end users are concerned. Most big company benefits, like salary and benefits

Cons

Very poor management, almost completely dominated by Koreans. If you are not Korean, it is almost impossible to get anywhere in the company.

Pros

Safe job, won't layoff during downtimes Some of the projects are quite interesting to work on People can get exposure to a lot of different technologies in the embedded domain

Cons

No technical leaders with lots of experience in any domain Recently removed flexi-timings while Samsung HQ in Korea switched to flexi-timing Depending on the skill level pay may not be too good No clarity on growth or what you might be doing 6 months down the line

Pros

- Opportunities to work with a global company with sales to 80+ countries - Working at a headquarter level with opportunities to experience multiple markets - Growth opportunities after Samsung - You definitely learn work discipline (in a positive way)

Cons

- Corporate culture is extremely rigid and rather "closed minded" - Your voice will not be heard - Incompetent middle management (Director level) - Work life comes before personal life (this is not by choice) - Does not function strategically (lack strategic thinking and approaches)
