Fear-driven, rotten culture

Recommend

Pros

Opportunities to work with cutting-edge devices, designs. Also a great place to see your own work applied globally.

Cons

Senior management is hard-core Korean, male-dominated, slavish to the Chairman and his family, and fearful of being reprimanded. Their fear runs throughout the organization, making the organizational culture rotten at the deepest level. Koreans almost always work in order to get promotions which then boost their social status, in the eyes of family and friends. Desperate and slavish people.

Pros

Samsung has great innovative products and the team I was in was great and supportive. Pay and benefits were good such as fuel card, car allowance, corporate card etc.

Cons

Greater Samsung business does not understand Enterprise business No Work life balance - expect to work 60-80 hours every week if you don't want to fall behind Customers are affected because the consumer processes are forced on an enterprise business and they don't work the same way. Higher priority on internal reports, meetings and training even to the point of having field sales people cancel customer meetings in favour of internal requirements Flexible working policy is frowned upon - must be in the office if not at customer meetings even though the company is selling mobility as their main go to market in Enterprise space. Internal policies and approval chains put needless overheads and inefficiencies on the business. Eg not allowed network connection through ethernet on other floors in office, only your own. Must apply to take laptop out of office every couple of months.
