Pros

-Feeling of a startup within a larger corporation -Constantly learning on your feet, learning about the latest trends in the world and building the future -Helping entrepreneurs, innovators and internal teams build incredible products -Teaches you how to navigate bureaucracy and big org charts but not hindered by it day-to-day -Definitely lots of challenges when trying to build new products / work with integrating M&A'd products and teams but these are all opportunities if you are an optimist and can thrive in ambiguity

Cons

-Recent turnover has hurt morale but wrong fits / hires are being phased out -Difficult to move ideas 'up the Samsung chain' & have projects adopted at the HQ Korea level -Difficult-to-achieve OKRs - should we care more about revenue or growth metrics? Pick 1 -Culture of 'its awesome because its awesome' surrounding products - would prefer a more critical eye when the data is staring us in the eyes <-- use this data to kill obviously dead features and projects and move on quickly -Management needs to include more women, diverse opinions when hiring and interviewing candidates - all-male panels are not a good look

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.
