Pros

Samsung has a broad business portfolio, and it's like they have many baskets to put their eggs in. This makes the stability of the whole group quite high.

They are very strong in the component and manufacturing business.

Samsung has a solid system to manage a large organization.

They are trying hard to adapt to fast-changing trends.

In South Korea, the working culture is relatively reasonable.

Cons
  • Not good at the S/W side. It's one of their biggest weak points in the S/W-driven industry. Not really a good place to work for S/W guys.
  • Too big to be flexible.
  • Doesn't like to try risky and adventurous things.
  • Korean local working culture; Work-life imbalance (though they're trying to change it).
Advice to Management

Concentrate on S/W. Need a more flexible culture to innovate. Break bureaucracy.
