      Pros

      Amazing culture, great people, fulfilling work with above average pay. You get to work with the latest and greatest technology on a daily basis!

      Cons

      Occasionally conflicting messaging with the organization. This is frequently corrected, but after time and energy has been wasted on non profitable activities

      Advice to Management

      Align process messaging across the platform before disseminating. While the end goal is frequently clearly stated, the process to get to that goal is frequently communicated poorly.

      I worked at Samsung Electronics America part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Fun and a great learning experience. Fairly laid back and easy as long as you talk to customers. Management is great about working with your schedule and giving time off. Samsung culture was good, however you're more submerged in Best Buy's culture as an SEC.

      Cons

      Weekdays could be painfully slow. Limited training and often stressful whenever working alone. No matter how great your Samsung co-workers and managers were, a good work life was primarily dictated by whichever Best Buy you're placed at. Layoffs happened unexpectedly and were by tenure and had nothing to do with performance. And unfortunately, I was affected.

      Advice to Management

      More extensive and in depth training would be beneficial.

      I worked at Samsung Electronics America full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      1. Good pay
      2. Working hard to, not look like Korean Military / company. still, it's in their genes
      3. Easy to get a job here, than in Apple , Google or Facebook!

      Cons

      1. It's a policy to shuffle certain number of VPs every year. They are in constant pressure to perform or get sacked, The quickest way for them to stay competitive is to shoot the pawns in front. That will keep other VPs in defence. This culture is seen company wide, if it's a smaller division like Samsung strategy and innovation center. It's more predominant.

      Consequence for employees, you are always under pressure. Especially, if you are young in career, don't get spoiled by Samsung work culture.

      In short, not recommend for early in your career

      Advice to Management

      Invest on a performance appraisal system that is well rounded. Elevate only Leaders/ Managers who can empathize
