Pros

Big company and with a brand name.

Cons

No respect for individuals or appreciation for work completed. Focus is always what has NOT been DONE. Time spent on projects then only to have them discarded, so time is wasted. Everything is dictated from HQ, they don't conform to the Silicon Valley ways. No working from home and there's not trust at all.

Pros

You can get away with doing very little work as long as you establish the right personal relationship with management.

Cons

Samsung has a highly political environment where perception is everything. Good technical work is not rewarded, sometimes even discouraged. This is a terrible place to work if your ambition is to make a career out of doing good technical work.

Pros

Initially the management made it sound like this newly formed Regional HQ for the C&T parent from Korea could really be a one in a life time opportunity but it never panned out. The office's geographical territory was supposed to be all of the Americas (North, Central and Latin America).

Cons

The scope of control of this office has been since reduced to the U.S. only except for Power and Healthcare projects. The Korean leadership distrusts the U.S. leadership hired to manage the office. This constant distrust and power struggle is tangible & even new employees with less than 2 months tenure are already begining to realize.
