Pros

If can be considered a pro you're paid (quite low) for your work. Samsung group on your back could give you a sense of safety.

Cons

Ridiculous management all composed by korean people. If you're not korean forget to get promotions. Endless and countless meeting on the same subject without any decision; after 2 minutes of English the meeting language is automatically switched to korean regardless of the non Koreans participants. Informations are not shared, no activity plan. Korean culture is a heavy presence inside the company which oftenly leads to mobbing cases considering western laws and culture. No respect towards employees. Very Poor work life balance, you will be called during the weekend or holidays

Pros

Salary, Free Transportation and Food. Big Brand Name - Will look good on your resume. Leader in the Mobile & Costumer electronics space.

Cons

No Value or Importance given to Employees, Management does not care about your Career, Very Political Environment.. HR especially is horrible - Will Screw up your Life and career -- Be Careful of Sudheer Gowda & the MD. They act and expect you to act as slaves to the Koreans (Samsung is a Korean company)
