Samsung Research America reviews

After working at Samsung, I am amazed that they are able to be successful. The culture is dominated by fear (do this or you won't have a project next year) and micromanagement from headquarters (Korea). Samsung claims to value innovation but provides the most suffocating culture I have ever worked in. The overall environment was based on vague requests in another language and an inherent bias against asking questions (just do what we say). Equally important is that all decisions (important or otherwise) are made in the Korean time zone using the Korean language. Results are not send out so US employees are pretty much in the dark. As far as I could tell, its impossible to influence strategic thinking from the United states. My boss was the President of an SRA group and even he had little to no influence over directions, assignments or funding.

the manager dominate the whole group by using his very subjective power and opinions. no smile on group member's face. everybody just come here for work, no fun, routine job for living.
