Pros

There is so much opportunity for improvement that if even a little bit occurs, Samsung could be a world-class employer.

Cons

Samsung tends to "bully" vendors and partners in markets where Samsung has dominance. While you can hope that people at these companies are able to separate the individual from the company, there is a chance that an employee's reputation in a particular industry will be affected by the actions fo the company, thus impacting their ability to move to another organization as feeely as they might otherwise.

Pros

Benefits and yearly bonus are the only thing regular employees have going for them.

Cons

There is an enormous culture, gender and race clash that is not being addressed properly. There is no regard for work/life balance. There is no real room for american executive growth outside of marketing and sales.

Pros

Very good medical plan Attractive employee discount

Cons

Everything else beyond the aforementioned perks. Management seems lost and confused; I find it mind boggling that this is such a profitable company. The tension that exists between Korean and non-Korean employees could be sliced with a knife and I would go as far to say that the Korean employees flat out do not like anyone who is not Korean. It is a horrible and depressing work environment and a simple 8-hour day can seem like an eternity.
