You have the option to change or stop this contribution rate at any time.

As a participant in the Samsung 401(k) program, you choose how to invest your account from a wide range of investment options. You can access your account and make changes on a daily basis using the plan’s interactive website. If you need to access your savings before retirement, loans are available.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Samsung Research America (New York, NY).
Interview
Got the chance from campus career fair. The interviewer was very nice and friendly. Two algorithms question were asked. Because I prepared for job-hunting so late that both the questions I didn't solve before the interview. But the interviewer was nice to explaining and discuss the question clearly so I can get some hints by active communication.
Interview Questions
- One was three sum and one was longest common subsequence. Both are from leetcode. Answer Question
