Pros
- One of the strongest global brand name - Financial stability of the company - Job stability & security - Koreans are very shy but very friendly once you get to know them
Cons
- Employees are made to work like bankers, except they are paid only 1/4th of what bankers get paid - 12 hr is the baseline number of work hours;14 hrs face recommended if you are serious about your career at Samsung C&T; Be prepared for 16 hours/6 days if you really want your boss to like you - Mandatory checkin into the office at 7:45 AM. As such, the office schedule leaves no time personal commitments such as family and health - Incentives are not aligned with performance. Promotions solely based on number of years you've spent in the company (not on performance) - Most power in the company is vested with the HR, not with your boss - Unless you are an expat coming in at VP level, this place is a disaster for your career and personal life
