Pros

They are willing to train you for the job, even if you don't have the experience. It's a good work environment as all the colleagues are very helpful and friendly. They provided alot alot of chance for regional travels. There is opportunities to meet with all customers and suppliers. They provide good exposures as meeting face to face with suppliers and customers provide you with more knowledge and better understanding of the business. They also have rewards those staffs that they feel has performed well, by providing them with cash rewards but that is only decided by the Top management and only if they like you.

Cons

To work in Samsung, you'll have to bare with long working hours, and suffers indecisive manangements. All the decisions are made by the Top management. Local managements do not have the power to make even simple decisions. They expect all staffs to work long hours, without overtime compensation and deems it as standard in office not to leave on the dot. They do not praise staffs for work well done, but instead, will be asking for more to be done. This is not good for Employee's morale as they were not praised for the work they've done. They require you to sacrifice family time for company activities.

Pros

The people are the best reason by Far to work for Samsung.

Cons

Probably 85% of employees are outsourced - only upper management are permanent employees. Samsung also has VERY high turnover - people drop like flies there. Samsung is a Korean company - but the Koreans micromanage EVERY aspect of business-to the point it's counter-productive. Everything has to have approval from Koreans prior to coming to fruition - and Koreans will ask a million questions about why you are requesting whatever it is you want. Way too many hands in the pot. Also-Koreans don't like anyone who is not Korean or at the very least Asian. All upper-management is Korean.

Pros

If you are a Manager, the salary and benefits. If you are a lower employee, salary is extremely low, there contract are temporarely and there management put a "shield" between them and you. The only reason to jion Samsung if you are a young one is that ofter a couple of years, at every door where you will knock someone will open and will give you an interview. The brand is very powerfull but there man do not count inside the company.

Cons

Koreans want to put their mind and taste in Europe. But it cannot works.
