Pros

In Korea, you get respect for working at Samsung due to the dominance that the company enjoys in country. The company is above the law and knows it very well. However, this can lead to some personal dilemmas for employees who have outward facing roles.

Cons

Executives are hired based on relationships with current executives, instead of ability. When the executive's lack of ability finally shows, they are moved to do damage at other groups within the company. This is especially demoralizing when that exec is a foreigner and local Korean employees see said exec being chauffeured around Korea in a luxury car.

Pros

Products, partner focus, will make you battle hardened

Cons

Internal conflict is rife. Internal meetings are excessive. Empowerment is non-existent. Systems are beyond terrible. Unless you are Korean you are a 2nd class citizen

Pros

It is really hard to find any 'Pro', but the manager (His name was Daniel) was nice, when the expat from Korea was unreasonably bullying me.

Cons

-People who don't know what they are doing but pretend they are very professional, which is quite funny if I think about it now. -90% of cons: an expat from korea who is behaving unreasonably. I don;t know if he is a narcissist or a sociopath, not sure what his personal issue is, but he was bullying people and stressing people out for no reason.
