Pros

good benefits, decent cafeteria food

Cons

this place is driven by politics, data doesn't drive decisions... it's flat, they outsource everything and don't promote from within. if you're female good lucking moving up here. this company will use you, so if you want to come here it's good to have samsung on your resume, that's about all you will get from here. overall this is the worst company i've ever worked for hands down.

Pros

Pros are all talk. Any claims you see of "people first organization", "flexible working days or hours", "work life balance" are all BS. Trauma bonding with co-workers is fun. Discounted snacks and meals at on-site cafe. Literally the only positive thing that comes from being a Samsung employee. Discount on Samsung products is not that great

Cons

Most toxic working environemnt Untrustworthy leadership, teams that are only out for themselves, willing to backstab anyone to try and take credit for tasks or projects. Systems and technology are beyond subpar using outdated laptops, Microsoft products from 2014 and 2016, with any new opportunities to enhance systems immediately denied. Long, thankless hours and completely unreasonable expectations are the norm. No one is allowed to actually succeed or truly grow and bonuses are all based on a quota system no matter how well you perform. If you love being the scapegoat for poor management, lack or any type of clear guidelines, and a delusional Korean HQ, you will thrive at Samsung

Pros

Benefits are OK. PTO is pretty good but you can never use it because as management loves to say, "put in more OT!!"

Cons

Work life balance is terrible, pretty much non-existent Rampant discrimination and bias from upper management Hostile work environment Too much gossip No inclusion Company doesn't reflect its "values" - the "values" are there just for pandering purposes Upper Management does not care at all about staff Bullying and harassment in the workplace managers constantly undermine you All talk, no action They will try to "trap" you there. if you know your worth, get out or better yet, don't work there in the first place
