Pros

Getting Samsung on your resume. Literally, thats it.

Cons

Run away as fast as you can and never look back. If you're interviewing or considering to interview and you're NOT Korean, stay far away. The company lacks any sense of leadership or HR. Extremely process oriented, protocol centric, and a complete lack of creative vision. Samsung is forced to work with Cheil as their agency meaning there is rampant resentment. There's nothing worse than a client that already hates you. But that's nothing compared to the blatant disregard for any employee thats not Korean. They don't trust, have zero confidence, and are prejudice against any employee thats not Korean.
