Pros

Great People (but to be honest, when you're in a really terrible situation with a group of people, you all become friends and cry to each other). The office staff is very professional. They do outstanding events, and take care of the office extremely well. The Office location is the best you could have.

Cons

The worst management you could hope for. VPs and CEO are all clueless. VERY hard to have a clear career path unless politics is your thing and you're willing to become best friends with higher ups. Unorganized teams led by inexperienced middle managers that used to be incompetent developers, and got promoted because of the Dilbert principle. Most of your day will be wasted on an hour long meetings and documentation for 10 lines of code. You are lied with empty promises and lured with grand ideas, but at some point you will start to wonder if it all is just an elaborate scheme to siphon money out of Samsung's pocket by the higher ups.

Pros

There is so much to love about working at Samsung Next. Being at the forefront of cutting edge technologies and championing innovative founders are just a few. But without a doubt, the best part is the people. The team is made up of driven, kind and helpful individuals who can make even the most routine tasks enjoyable, all while maintaining a great sense of humor. The management and leadership are truly fantastic - supportive, inspiring, and always eager to help you grow. I can't sing their praises enough. I would recommend Samsung Next in a heartbeat to anyone eager to learn, be surrounded by amazing tech, and join an incredible team.

Cons

I really don't have any negative feedback to share. I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 years working here!
