      Pros

      Good campus and good food.

      Cons

      the management is very dirty, everything depends on the leader. They can hire any person they want, even they don't have any work experience in the related area. They can kill u anytime they want, even you have lots of achievements. They only care about the politics. Some people's job is playing politics and kick these good people.

      A smattering of talented junior/midlevel people trapped in a hellish prison of inept leadership and cultural impasse.

      Pros

      **This is specifically for Samsung UXCA/SDA in San Francisco** They pay you a lot of money. The hours are very much 9-5. They have great recruiting.

      Cons

      **This is specifically for Samsung UXCA/SDA in San Francisco** You will never release a product in the market. They do not– and probably never will– have any support from headquarters in Korea to actually make products. They are either a tax loophole or an ideas factory that has no say in actual shipping products. You will be asked to do redundant or nonsensical projects. Leadership will constantly tell you what a great and unique position the lab is in. Atmosphere is peculiar at best and toxic/poisonous at worst. Any additional bonuses or compensation will have 2+ year vesting clauses that trap you once you realize you must escape.

      Pros

      Modern campus Decent benefits Diverse cafeteria fare

      Cons

      Constant churn of short-term priorities and directions from Suwon Oppressive levels of bureaucratic requirements from ex-pat CFO No freedom to demonstrate why Silicon Valley R&D can be valuable to Samsung. The disheartening tragedy of good people being undermined and leaving
