Pros

Leading consumer tech company, decent pay and benefits, but no more.

Cons

Top brass Koreans have absolutely no respect for locals, not even for their own people, they do not trust anyone, their disrespectful military style goes against moral and self-esteem, and creating employee fear is management number one job. Even if you are in an urgent need for a job, do not accept any offer, you will regret afterward, or you will get fired. Attrition is very high and not even justifies the need for a learning opportunity. Poor work-life balance, employees can't comment or speak, just obey, no autonomy to take any decision, just follow orders, Koreans just want robots working for them. HH RR department ignores local country labor laws, and they walk a very thin line while trying to comply with minimum standards, they are just an instrument of senior management to blackmail employees, who must get things done or get fired. You have a long way to learn respect for your employees. I'm not writing this review to attack Samsung, neither expecting any kind of apology. I´m writing this review to advise anyone wishing to work for Samsung, not to make such a huge mistake as I did, my life was miserable there.
