Pros

Global business scope. Deep pockets virtually eliminates limits to investment size. Global brand makes it easy to get meetings/interviews. Very good compensation (if expatriate).

Cons

Almost exclusive focus on risk avoidance rather than potential upside. Unrealistic return expectations, especially given low risk tolerance. Inflexibility in adapting to local (non-Korean, non-Samsung) business practices and norms. Poor strategy and planning. Promotion based on tenure, not performance.

Pros

I've worked at a number of companies throughout my career, but this Silicon Valley company stands out as one of the best experiences I've had professionally. From day one, the culture here is genuinely different — and in the best way possible. The team is incredibly collaborative. Whether you're working cross-functionally or within your own department, people are always willing to roll up their sleeves and help. There's no ego here — just a shared commitment to doing great work together.

Cons

No cons for now so can't say nothing
