Technical Account Manager

Being a woman in tech, I only recently started advocating for myself at work about advancement opportunities. Because of this I wanted to ask this question to my male counterparts. When you have 1:1's with your direct reports and talk about career growth / aspirations what is your managers’ response typically? I’d like to gauge how my experience (negative) differs from others. For instance are you met with blockades, enthusiasm, dread, etc?

    Pros

    Casual dress code, like a Doomsday cult uniform you are expected to wear everyday. I was castigated for dressing up on my first day....lest I think I am better than the dimwits in management.

    Cons

    Don't be non-Korean, this is a major liability Don't be a woman. I am mystified why they hire women as they think so very little of them, expect a morning and evening bow to them and want you to walk at least 6 feet behind them at all times. Don't have any ideas, don't get creative, don't challenge the status quo. They know better than you on 100% of topics, 100% of the time. Management has Non-Existent Insight into conducting business in the U.S. Integrity - there is none, Only sycophants win here. No ability make decisions or to execute on the smallest of action items.

    TOXIC, HORRIBLE company

    Mar 31, 2023 - Senior Director, Product Marketing in Ridgefield Park, NJ
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Compensation and benefits are above average to enter people to overlook the horrible work environment and long hours.

    Cons

    Avoid Samsung. It is a toxic, sexist,backstabbing place to work which rewards those willing to degrade others. I was personally verbally abused and degraded on a weekly basis by American and Korean colleagues. I was humiliated in front of colkeagues because I was unwilling to play a binge drinking game. I reported the incident to HR but nothing was done and the perpetrator was instead promoted. In the new employee orientation they teach employees how to try and navigate the binge drinking culture that permeates Samsung. But unless you drink and participate you are looked over for promotion and advancement. Further the company is srxist to the core treating women very poorly. For example I had a colleague who was asked in an interview for a promotion: "If you receive the promotion who will take care of your children?" Avoid Samsung if you value your dignity and self worth.

    The most toxic work environment I have ever set foot in STAY AWAY

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    a well-known name on your that people mistakenly think is prestigious

    Cons

    Boy, where do I start. I was warned to stay away from Samsung by a former employee, but I was desperate for a job. My experience was only barely better than being homeless. This will not be explicit obviously, but you are regularly expected to be available and on-call at all hours. The workday will creep earlier and later, until you are working until 8pm, 11pm most nights. Most people here are older adults and do not have a personal life outside of work, and you will be seen as strange if you give your personal outside commitments any sort of weight. I've had colleagues that couldn't take a day off for getting covid, death in the family, illnesses, etc. This is not unique to any corporate environment, but people here really stretch themselves thin trying to appease management. The executives love to micromanage which results in a culture of not enough planning and everything being on fire all of the time, a sense of pointless urgency that results in nothing material being accomplished but burning out everyone in its path.
