Pros

- company is doing well so the name value on the resume is high - pay is decent compared to other tech companies in Korea - company is trying to adopt more flexible culture i.e. flex-hour

Cons

- decision making is rigidly top-down ; top-management mandate rules the business decisions even though they're not the most optimal ones - samsung can do better in terms of diversity (gender, race, etc) - there're lots of ethical questions around the huge influence of the chairman family

Pros

I've worked at a number of companies throughout my career, but this Silicon Valley company stands out as one of the best experiences I've had professionally. From day one, the culture here is genuinely different — and in the best way possible. The team is incredibly collaborative. Whether you're working cross-functionally or within your own department, people are always willing to roll up their sleeves and help. There's no ego here — just a shared commitment to doing great work together.

Cons

No cons for now so can't say nothing
