      It's a good place to earn money

      Pros

      - A huge package of benefits is the main reason to work in Samsung Semiconductors. - Good working environment. - System of Global Help Desk is great. You can tell GHD manager about any kind of problem and she will resolve it by herself very fast. - Korean Tax Law that foreign professionals don't need to pay taxes from their salary

      Cons

      - Corporate language is Korean but it slowly moving to English. - Very high level of bureaucracy. For every your step you have to get approval. - Managers are not quality and customer oriented they are "keep in schedule" oriented. They frequently miss any kind of analyze steps. Their schedule usually consists of just 1 item: "Implementation". - SW quality assurance is so poor that you have to do it by yourself all the time.

      Pros

      Opportunity to work with cutting edge technologies. Opportunity to experience Asian working style and relationship :), noticeable record in resume.

      Cons

      Military/Korean promotion style, early promotion almost impossible despite of your achievements, you can only be promoted after the fixed time interval. Inflexible working schedule. I was lucky to work in two teams and the impression is completely different, everything depends on your team leader. If your manager follows the korean old management style you can be forced to work overtime even if this work is really useless. Also, overtime job payment is unfair, much less than one for ordinary working hour.

      Pros

      It is always a challenge, the people you work with are all good, competitent people who will work with you to get your day to day work done.

      Cons

      Leadership is conflicted between the North American and Korean executives and the political battles between different divisions in Korea and in North America often make it difficult to get anything done in a timely fashion.
