Pros

- Relatively good salary - Good company infrastructure - There are some nice people I have met there

Cons

- Unhealthy climate within team - Being foreigner (white) in the team of Koreans is disaster - All emails are in Korean (had to learn Korean) - Not challenging job at all - People spend 12~14 hours per day in average because of poor planning

Pros

- company is doing well so the name value on the resume is high - pay is decent compared to other tech companies in Korea - company is trying to adopt more flexible culture i.e. flex-hour

Cons

- decision making is rigidly top-down ; top-management mandate rules the business decisions even though they're not the most optimal ones - samsung can do better in terms of diversity (gender, race, etc) - there're lots of ethical questions around the huge influence of the chairman family
