      Pros

      Opportunity to work with cutting edge technologies. Opportunity to experience Asian working style and relationship :), noticeable record in resume.

      Cons

      Military/Korean promotion style, early promotion almost impossible despite of your achievements, you can only be promoted after the fixed time interval. Inflexible working schedule. I was lucky to work in two teams and the impression is completely different, everything depends on your team leader. If your manager follows the korean old management style you can be forced to work overtime even if this work is really useless. Also, overtime job payment is unfair, much less than one for ordinary working hour.

      Pros

      It is always a challenge, the people you work with are all good, competitent people who will work with you to get your day to day work done.

      Cons

      Leadership is conflicted between the North American and Korean executives and the political battles between different divisions in Korea and in North America often make it difficult to get anything done in a timely fashion.

      Pros

      This is a great place to grow experience with plenty of duties to fill. Everyone needs to be well-rounded, filling multiple roles, which tend to multiply over time. My job today is nothing like the job description when I was hired, which has led to an expanding portfolio to showcase of my design, video and multimedia works. My role keeps growing which is nice, since it tends to give better job security. Working in marketing is also nice with the many interesting and fun programs and sponsorships we do. It's definitely something good to put on the resume having worked for Samsung.

      Cons

      The opportunities for growth as far as promotion and actual recognition of increased duties has been next to nil. I have increased my duties ten fold since I started, yet make the same pay and have the same title when I started. Every time I add a new skill or service, it becomes part of my job requirements. Three years have passed and I am still considered 'contract', lacking any benefits. The frustration mounts when new hires are brought on as 'full time' from the start. Being expected to help them with deliverables to fulfill their annual bonus only adds to the sense of unfairness. Although I am appreciative for working here, too many things make me wonder if there are better opportunities.
