Samsung Employer Reviews

Great environment fostering freedom as far as methods of working are concerned as long as we deliver results in the allotted time.

Okay... if you plan to work for Korean company, assume that you will be working for minimum 10 - 13 hours Mon - Fri plus some weekends.

Money might be okay but you will have not much time for your family and personal things.

Like someone commented here, Korean believe long hours of work is better than work smart. it's just their blood.

However, you – more...  cannot just say No to their theory because somehow Samsung became one of the largest and most competitive company in the world.

So beware of longgggg hours!!!! – less

I was busy everyday with long hours working. The management were very bad, and my colleagues werent nice at all.

Good salary, but working environment is tough.
Work quality depends upon project to project.

I speak with customers for level 2 support i answer level 1 and level 2 calls. I have to remember product information from 2001 up to now and be able to assist the customers with purchasing parts or troubleshoot there is with installing the electronics to monitors,tvs,home theaters, cameras fridge, ranges, microwaves...basically anything that is electronic – more...  samsung makes it and im there to fix it. – less

Challenging work environment with plenty of opportunity for advancement if you have thick skin and don't require work life balance.

There is a reason almost all reviewers are "Former Employee". Samsung churns through people! Samsung does not value Americans, your job is to shut up and work long hours. You dare not say anything bad about the boss and work long hours. Samsung hires more permanent people then it needs, so that it can fire people after the project is over. And that – more...  relocation money you got, well you have to pay them back regardless of why/how you’re leaving. Samsung will lie to you to get you to take their job. Ask as many Samsung "Former Employee" as you can about their experiences before taking the job offer. Why are there so, so may Samsung "Former Employee"? Hire and Fire is the Samsung way. Don't say I didn't warn you. Because of the Samsung Fear factor at work, you can't trust your co-workers, because they are scared about their job and will do anything including lying to keep their job. Because every South Korean is drafted into the military, the company is run like the South Korean military boot-camp. Samsung only will do the bare minimum (only what is legally required) to protect your Safety. Samsung doesn't want to spend money on Safety, except if they have too. – less

Had several positions from Line technician, Tech Support CE Products. Field Representative for the east zone.
Supported Service Centers to resolve daily issues from warranty claims, to policy administration. Supported Customers and Dealers and offer options to take care of their needs.
Generated Training Manuals on (CE, and Home Appliance) products. – more...  Trained Technicians, Field Sales Team and dealers. – less

There is no on the job training facility. Lack of planning. Poor test beds and lab equipment and resources for R&D. One can expect quick Trun-Around time for issues and bug-fixes based on customer and end user reports.

My job at Samsung was great, what I did not like was the way it was operated. There was favortism, and a lot a non legal demands.

It is a good place to develop software. There are extensive training before a new developer enters a development team.

Very challenging and crowded office environment with lots of newly graduated engineers and well experienced professionals working in samsung

This company works hard, but you can feel a good archievement..
The workers are very professional and great people...
I like this company.

It's a really great place to work, if you like 13hr days.

Korean's assume long hour days are more productive, then working smartly. The unspoken expectation is that you work 13hr days, regardless of what gets done. Korean's pace their work for the 13hr days instead of accomplishing same work in less time, more smartly. Successful American engineers – more...  will learn to do the same. It's a mind numbing, intellectually dishonest environment, where doing something "better" is considered doing something counter to what the Korean's do. You dare not think different!

As a hiring manager, I would think twice before hiring a Samsung employee, as they may work "hard" but not smartly.

Samsung invest allot in "lean" training. However what gets implemented is employee parroting the language of lean, but not rethinking their job and how to do it more smartly, more efficiently with less resources; because, doing something "better" is considered doing something counter to what the Korean's do.

Samsung's practice is to hire experienced engineers from target companies, enticing them with good salary steal their ideas and their previous employee’s business knowledge; then let the now over-paid employee go. – less

Excelent conpamy to work with, ill love to work again here if the company comes to New York.

The hardest part of the job is the position not being able to last longer.

It is hard to make a balance work and life. They don't have a long-term plan. They easily changed project schedule.

Very business orientated! Samsungs goal to make sure that every person gets the best product available. The upstand nature makes you want to be apart of a continuing growing company.

Really enjoyed the job but i only wish i were converted to have been offered benefits
