Know Korean to have an amazing experience

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1) If you learn Korean, opportunities are unlimited. 2) Depending on your team at Samsung Electronics, you can get amazing to mediocre work. I was lucky to have worked on some amazing technologies. Some of my friends in other teams weren't that lucky. 3) Global Help Desk - great support system. 4) Top management doing everything to include foreign employees

Cons

1) Bureaucratic 2) Glass ceiling if you can't speak Korean. You will never get real responsibilities, and no quality work. It all boils down to knowing the language and culture. 3) Multicultural for namesake. International employees are made to follow Korean culture, while they are not allowed to show their culture. No cultural exchange.
