Pros

travel and korean girls :) i really feel the opportunities to see the world as a samsung sales exec are exceptional.

Cons

very hierarchical, no going up if you're not korean. i found the top level jobs stacked with nationals, and got the feeling i didn't speak their language and never could.

Pros

There are a lot of applications to work for as a mechanical engineer. The workplace is very much dynamic, and there are many coworkers to learn from. Good food for employee.

Cons

The company requires too much hard work with little payment. Staff members are difficult to communicate, and they are like goverment employee. The project are selected and managed by the decision from the top executive members, resulting in a lot of sudden drop of project without any notices. Too much emphases on security make the employeee uncomfortable with entering and going out work places. Short term based evaluation system sometimes results in unfair evaluation.

Pros

Good experience for novice engineers. If you recently graduated from University, then you have good opportunities to get the experience with real industry problems and challenges. Your area of expertise can grow quite fast and you can understand the basic principles about research management. The foreign employers are usually supported with housing, and the taxes in South Korea are reasonable. The Samsung is a famous brand, so usually, the experience in Samsung allows to find better job easier, and can be a good step to find a good position in different company.

Cons

Once you got your area of expertise, which is needed for your job (~1 year), the further knowledge growth is quite limited. It's hard to know the working environment because of language barriers. Lots of politics in relations (maybe the same for all big companies).
