Overall great place to work for R&D - Anonymous employee Samsung Strategy and Innovation Center Employee Review

Although the internship was fully remote, they tried to make opportunities to communicate with full-time employees and other interns. They also provided all resources needed for the intern project, so there were no technical difficulties during the internship. Great company with tons of support and many interesting projects.

Some logistics were complicated to figure out. But I think this may be a problem for all big corporations.

Samsung has great perks and benefits, and coworkers are usually very talented and smart.

Let me start by pointing out that most of the positive reviews have been either provided by interns or by employees all submitting reviews coincidentally in June 2019. This organization does not have any credibility with leadership in Korea HQ. This results in a lot of busy work and fire drills that ultimately do not have any impact to the company's overall strategy or growth. Over the years the various innovation efforts have all been "graduated" and transferred to other Samsung businesses and promptly shut down. Digital health, data center, autonomous driving... you name it, and it's been tried, and failed. When the previous head of the organization left at the end of 2020, he took with him all the remaining credibility and purpose that the organization had. They also bungled a round of layoffs which I was a part of, that was ill conceived and poorly executed. What leading company cuts a third of an organization in December? This was right before the Christmas holidays with 4 weeks notice and during the covid pandemic no less! The people who planned it obviously never had to look for a job over Xmas break and are clueless about how horrific the timing was.
