Pros

As an expat hire, Samsung pays well, the benefits are good, and in general the work-life balance is not bad (although this varies significantly between teams). Can be a fascinating experience to see how the company operates.

Cons

Samsung resembles much more a military organization than a corporate entity. Communication flows top - down, anyone under VP or even SVP has little decision making authority, middle management is not paid to think but to execute orders, and promotions are based on a persons age and political connections, not necessarily competence.

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.
