Pros

Great benefits, worked wGreat benefits, worked with some really good people a lot of potentialith some really good people a lot of potential

Cons

Koreans are very distant to non-Koreans. Korean management while being very capable in Korean style business practices are out of their element internationally. 2 tiers of employees, Korean and everyone else. No room for advancement. Koreans see non- Koreans as lazy, Non-Koreans see Koreans as needing to re-event the wheel everyday (Ground Hogs Day, everyday) Life gives you lessons and opportunities, Samsung was a definite lesson. New CEO bragged he worked for Jack Welch was going to make things happened. For that to happen he would have had to change the whole company culture….Never going to happen.

Pros

Great products. Everyone gets to travel at least once per year.

Cons

Low pay compared to top US electronics companies. Strong culture of favoritism — managers rarely promote on merit and frequently move the goalposts for employees outside their inner circle. Colleagues and managers regularly take credit for others' work. I personally witnessed and experienced what I believe to be gender and race-based inequities in how employees are treated and evaluated. HR was unresponsive when issues were raised.
