Pros

Compensation and benefits are above average to enter people to overlook the horrible work environment and long hours.

Cons

Avoid Samsung. It is a toxic, sexist,backstabbing place to work which rewards those willing to degrade others. I was personally verbally abused and degraded on a weekly basis by American and Korean colleagues. I was humiliated in front of colkeagues because I was unwilling to play a binge drinking game. I reported the incident to HR but nothing was done and the perpetrator was instead promoted. In the new employee orientation they teach employees how to try and navigate the binge drinking culture that permeates Samsung. But unless you drink and participate you are looked over for promotion and advancement. Further the company is srxist to the core treating women very poorly. For example I had a colleague who was asked in an interview for a promotion: "If you receive the promotion who will take care of your children?" Avoid Samsung if you value your dignity and self worth.

Pros

Met very smart, talented colleagues - enjoyed working with some of the people on the team, and learned many applicable, valuable technical skills. Some projects provide opportunities to learn new skills and can launch interesting products. The food is good.

Cons

All the previous reviews about the culture are 100% accurate. Overall very poor management and direction from the upper level, which trickles down into the team. Office politics and conflicting direction from HQ, too many meetings just to prove the work is being done, resulting in little to no trust in the US team - constant surveillance, questioning, and general misalignment of objectives. Company culture and team morale is overall quite low, and little recognition and appreciation from management for hardworking teams on the working levels. Also, it doesn’t seem like there is much room to grow, just more work added with little promotional opportunities. ALSO: RTO 5 days in office was unreasonable, had no justification, with no productivity data to show reasoning - seemed to be a rash decision from the HQ side as a form of control and to push people into soft layoffs (Their "Q&A" sessions are just beating around the bush about this specific reasoning).
