Cons
Whilst everyone has a perception that “One has made it” if they obtain the opportunity to work at Samsung, unfortunately my perception was shattered on day 1 of employment. The lack of respect for humans, professionalism, and knowledge rolls all the way from the top in Korea to the President and the Sr VP in San Jose; the bottom. The company dysfunction is deep throughout the organization. There is no structure, no direction, there is no help when needed, and most definitely no team environment whatsoever. Everyone is afraid to help their peers in fear that they will be wrong and get in trouble. Everyone acts like timid field mice. It’s definitely a sight never seen before. This heinous experience is exacerbated because no one knows what they’re doing to begin with. The president will repeatedly bash sales reps (whether doing great or not) openly on the sales floor. Ive never seen anything like it. Not ok and not normal. In bi-yearly strategy meetings, you will sit through a day and a half long continuous bashing of sales reps from the president and the Sr VP. They bounce off each other in beat down questions in order to show you who’s boss. This is the behavior that an exceptional chameleon will adopt in order to survive the Samsung Electro Mechanics experience. This is the worst experience Ive ever had in all of my working years. Stay away.
