Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Samsung Research America full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Good Salary with health benefits
Cons
Communication problem in every level (manager to higher management). Projects and plans changes very often. Very less chance for the promotion. If you tell the truth in company survey, then you will be in trouble.
Advice to Management
Do not trust company survey. Please train the managers to have a regular meeting with employee to discuss the results.
