Pros

The people are the best reason by Far to work for Samsung.

Cons

Probably 85% of employees are outsourced - only upper management are permanent employees. Samsung also has VERY high turnover - people drop like flies there. Samsung is a Korean company - but the Koreans micromanage EVERY aspect of business-to the point it's counter-productive. Everything has to have approval from Koreans prior to coming to fruition - and Koreans will ask a million questions about why you are requesting whatever it is you want. Way too many hands in the pot. Also-Koreans don't like anyone who is not Korean or at the very least Asian. All upper-management is Korean.

Pros

-Competitive Salary -Brand clout for your resume

Cons

-Contractors/Contingent workers are treated as second class, practically disposable employees. You are very much treated as an "other." When my contract was not renewed, my agency let me know one day before the contract ended and not a single person at Samsung said a word about it. Not even the courtesy of a goodbye after nearly 2 years, let alone a thanks or good luck. -Location: Englewood Cliffs is a small enclave of Korean companies including Hyundai and LG, which are less than a mile away. Commuting is a pain with very limited options from Manhattan, most of which include a 15 minute walk from a NJ Transit bus stop. The company also arranges a charter bus service, but you pay out of pocket for this and it is double the price of NJ Transit. Neighboring non-Korean companies provide free shuttles to & from the city. -RTW: Beginning in April 5 days a week in the office is mandated for everyone.
