What do you like about working at Samsung?

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Make very, very sure it's a cultural fit for you. Know that you will be expected to work very long hours and weekends with little or no recognition. Your opinions are valued only if you agree unconditionally with the Korean management. Don't believe the storybook of unicorns and cupcakes that recruiting tries to sell you in the interviews. Know going in it's a very high-stress environment."

What don't you like about working at Samsung?

"My dislikes are: no work/life balance, you don't have the authority to do your job because you are subservient to Korean dispatchers, unfair promotion practices and no growth opportunities, high stress environment in which unjustified firings are frequent when you are used-up, the pervasive culture of entitlement, and there is no real attempt to improve the conditions even though management is fully aware of the issues."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Trust the abilities of the experts you hired to do their job, instead of dictating orders from Korea. Respect our personal time and give us the resources to work smarter, not harder. Money doesn't buy loyalty, reward your employees by recognizing their value to the company. Stop playing favorites!!!"
