Frustrating if you like anything you work on to actually launch - Anonymous employee Samsung Electronics Employee Review

Pros

Good salary and benefits, plus you will get to work with some very smart colleagues.

Cons

Culture is absolutely hierarchical throughout all levels of the business. Korean management hire very senior Western leaders and then do not give any subsequent degree of autonomy or leverage to them, leading to very obvious frustration and demotivation which filters down to staff at lower levels of the organisation. This breeds an extremely negative working environment where individuals will quite openly criticise the company.

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.
