Cons
Worst company I have EVER worked for in my 20 year career! Do not dismiss the common themes in the CONS section from other reviews. I have never worked in such a NEGATIVE environment before. Most people are miserable and hate their leadership. In a six month timeframe I saw more people cry on the job than I had in my entire career! The Koreans micromanage everything and will never be satisfied. They constantly have knee jerk reactions based mostly on a lack of understanding which then causes many to waste their time answering useless questions and preparing useless reports to explain instead of doing your job. There is very little regard for work/life balance. It is more important to be seen at 7 or 8pm at night rather than effectively managing your time throughout the day so you can leave at a respectable hour. Plus leaders have poor time management skills and lack respect for your own schedule and calendar. Employees & leaders are constantly having to reschedule meetings last minute or skip them altogether (including candidate interviews) because it is either frowned upon to leave their current meeting or most don’t respect your time or don’t care. Candidates interviewing for a job are often left to wait 30 – 45 minutes, or longer, past their scheduled interview and sometimes the manager is a no show all together. What kind of message does that send to a prospective employee? In 2014 nearly 90% of the HR Business Partner team literally quit within a 6 week timeframe and yet no one at the C-Level ever thought to question HR leadership! Turnover within in HR is horrendous because there are two leaders who do what they are told, have little actual leadership skills, and don’t understand US laws. They literally blocked recruiters from moving forward with Asian candidates because headquarters in Korea told them not to hire any more Koreans or Asians. This is obviously an illegal practice here in the U.S., but not one HR leader even questioned the direction from Corporate HQ in Korea. Neither the company nor leadership cares to provide any development of their employees under a Director level. And they do not promote internal movement as evident of only 12% of positions filled by internal employees in 2014. This company requires followers, not people who are drivers or individuals who question how things have always been done in hopes of improving process or quality of service. The company overall, mostly driven by the Koreans, have an elitist attitude that everyone wants to work for Samsung. And they turn their back on good candidates who are from what they deem to be “lesser” companies or those considering a competitive offer from someone else. What they don’t understand is there are over a 1000 different companies in the U.S. that can be considered at the top in their respective fields and high performing employees can come from anywhere. I would not recommend this company to even my worst enemy! If there was an option to give zero stars or 1/2 star to Senior Management or overall rating I would.
