Name * Password * Email https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Samsung-Electronics-San-Jose-Reviews-EI_IE3363.0,19_IL.20,28_IM761.htm <strong>Pros</strong> If you are only Dir/ Principle or above, then you fly business class. That won't be a pro anyways, but discrimination. Sorry, don't have anything good to say. <strong>Cons</strong> This should be the last place in your career and will ask you to keep selling your soul. This is not a company challenging your talent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <strong>Pros</strong> Mobile, devices, innovative company that moves fast. Great opportunity to get into mobile if you can stomach the ridiculous demands and cut-throat culture. <strong>Cons</strong> Unrealistic expectations, executive management that doesn't care about employee well-being, tolerant of unethical behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <strong>Pros</strong> Always working directly on projects with global reach. I always felt like my work mattered in terms of product development. Well experienced, talented, and genuinely motivated colleagues. <strong>Cons</strong> At some point, building products with global reach is not worth the life investment. There is no work-life balance, the stress is all encompassing, leadership cares about their reputations, not their employees. Morals also suffer as you are asked to ship product knowing their are critical deficiencies in products. Raising the issues is met with just fix it and dont tell me about it attitudes. There are only so many weekends and missed family events that you can do before you re-evaluate and take another job in the valley with the same or better pay, having a semblance of a life, and seeing daylight again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <strong>Pros</strong> Competitive salary and bonuses (joining and annual) <strong>Cons</strong> I was a project leader for almost two years and i strongly recommend people to stay away from Samsung Research America, specially researchers due to the following reasons. 1. There is no independence and everything needs to be approved by HQ in South Korea. Upper management in South Korea thinks in terms of hardware and they do not understand software. They are old people with poor understanding of technology and all decisions are taken based on what other US companies are publicly doing 2. People from HQ steal many project ideas as they need to approve them. They will say "please do not work on this item idea because we are already working on it at HQ". Then, they will ran back to HQ and create a project based on your idea or team idea. HQ stole to big projects from my team in just two years. 3. Similarly HQ will also steal the patents generated by you or your team and i have known some instances in which patents submitted from usa to south korea for approval come back with different author names. 4. Finally, since all funding comes from HQ your managers at Samsung research america (usa) will be powerless after all the abuses you suffer. In summary, Samsung is a follower company, following the work of leading companies such as apple and this is so embedded in their culture that they even follow and steal ideas from each other within the company. Stay away please if you are an independent and innovative researcher. Join n american company or startup in the bay area better. You will regret joining and you will remember my advise.
