Samsung Electronics America reviews

The culture needs work, employees are often rude to each other and a lot of employees have large egos including executive leaders. Samsung is not a collaborative environment rather everyone tries to throw someone under a bus (this is the attitude of senior leaders as well) Korea wants to take over US operations and is slowly doing so. Leadership says they are fast paced, however, it's more of being fast because everything is late due to poor planning and getting things from Korea late. Further, the company processes of getting approvals to start a project are long making it impossible to be fast. PTO needs work, you start with 20 days including sick days and only major holidays off. Office hrs are 9-6 which they don't tell you until your first day. Reviews are tough and they make it really hard to get high scores and you are rated in comparison to your team members which doesn't make sense and contributes to a competitive negative environment. Career growth is also hard and HR policies are not consistent, its easier for a non full time employee to get a role than for a full time employee. This is a very high stress environment that will burn you out really quickly. Think really hard before working here, actually look elsewhere it's not worth your time.

Everything you would imagine in any big organization but the real warning is that Korean leadership clashes horribly with a North American value system of integrity. Do not expect to be treated with any level of respect and there is no such thing as work/life balance.
