Pros

New Samsung building is great with a cool game room, basketball court, volleyball, ping pong, pool, video games, nap pods. HR are quick and responsive and very helpful. When CEO come around they have meetings for them to communicate with employees and let them know status and plans for the company.

Cons

Location of the office is terrible since there are always lots of traffic, makes me nervous driving there because of all the bad drivers.

Pros

* Good line/mid-management * Very nice team - both highly professional and friendly * Lots of really interesting and state-of-the-art system programming projects

Cons

* Low salaries (used to be competitive until recent drop of Russian currency) * Inefficient, illogical and authoritarian management style of Korean partners (although this is partly compensated by good local management) * Some employees are surprisingly incompetent (guess that's normal for a large company though) * Company hires extremely (I mean _extremely_) professional guys and then give absolutely silly and boring work * Projects get started and cancelled by Korean partners all of a sudden with all existing work and experience being sent to /dev/null (funny enough projects often get restarted from scratch by another team in 2-3 years); local management don't seem to have _any_ influence on these decisions * Managers don't seem to have long-term strategy (probably caused by above) * Most real decision making is done in HQ - Moscow office is just a pitiful outsource
