Outdated company

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Benefits are great. You get huge bonuses on leave encashments and performance ratings.

Cons

- Outdated performance review process. Grading system is absurd. - Outdated software development lifecycle. We can’t modernise with an efficient scrum methodology as our Korean bosses use waterfall. - Outdated culture where people will have to address their seniors with Mr. and Ms. - Outdated tools. Some work tools are only accessible via Internet Explorer, and the UIs are reminiscent of early 20’s UI. - Poor-performing laptops are provided to employees. - Aside from your actual job in the company, you are also expected to contribute to other internal projects, and to pass algorithm exams. If you’re not performing at these 2, it will be taken against you in your performance review.

Don’t consider coming in if you want progression or no overtime

Pros

- people there are generally quite nice - brand definitely. It’s Samsung that you’re putting in your resume.

Cons

-a lot of overtime (till1 plus am) -no progression after 4 years -cutting down headcounts so probably you will be taking over 3-4 pax work -limited free snacks ( like those biscuit u buy from the tins). Chips and drinks are payable. So if you imagine that our company has those free snacks around, think again.
