Good work done in an unorthodox way, not a place for wannabe hackers

Lead Engineer
Current Employee
Has worked at Samsung for less than 1 year

3.0
Approves of CEO
Pros

Good work (Usual Disclaimer: Depends on the project) Greater impact (Think of your code being used by millions of people in the world) Good salary and good perks when compared with other competitors Easy and faster growth in technical roles if you are competent

Cons

No superstars to look up to or inspire. (Can be pros as well; you can be one easily after convincing HQ).

Thinking of HQ (Korea) as customers and not as peers. (Mainly because of old-timers).

Not a place for people who aspire to be hackers to stay long, but a good place to start with.

Advice to Management

Start to own the product launches. Get out of the "Koreans are our customer" attitude; this is not an outsourcing division.

Provide more work-life balance. There is always improvement.
