Pros
Compensation tends to be fairly average, but not bad. Working at SEA offers the opportunity to work within a global leader in its product categories (especially in sales and marketing) - LCDs, PDPs, audio/visual, printers, monitors, PCs, etc. Younger professionals can gain blue-chip experience and valuable skills for their resume. The company's brand and success will also get attention from recruiters in a job hunt. If a professional lives in Norther Jersey and wants to work for a big-brand tech company, it's not a bad option to make some cash or gain some experience. It's not a great place to grow professionally or to move up with greater responsibility over the longer term.
Cons
SEA is run by Koreans with little opportunity for locals to move up the corporate ladder - nearly all the senior management posts are held by well-connected Koreans from HQ in Seoul, with no sign of this changing any time soon. The work style is decidedly Korean with most important decisions made behind closed-doors by Koreans. Local employees are viewed as tools of execution and can't expect to be involved in strategy. It's a colonial-style management where Korean management gives orders, do not tolerate dissent, and expect locals work grueling hours. There is no equity for locals, which does not allow for local employees to share in the very high profitability of Samsung Electronics. The lack of diversity within the employee base is quite troubling company for such a "global" company. On an average day, the office can be a bit depressing - poor lighting, dirty carpets, long work hours, crappy office furniture, and very average food. The location of the office also leaves a bit to be desired within the nearest restaurants and stores about a 15-minute drive away.
