Samsung

Job stability. As long as you play the corporate game, where you show up to the countless Webex meetings and don't challenge anyone, you're golden. DQ is thriving there.

Management turned one of the greatest companies to work for in Montreal into an absolute corporate nightmare where passion and dreams go to die.

The whole team who built a world-class platform is now gone, despite how much they liked working together. Literally everyone left with roughly 2x their Samsung salary, and management did nothing about it.

Great engineers have had promotions denied simply for properly criticizing some terrible process in a public Slack channel. There is so much middle management that they don't know what to do with their time, so they end up counting your hours.

Technical debt is not something you can work on anymore. The agile transition has been a nightmare, and the process is highly inflexible.

You dun goofed, and there's no coming back. Advice has already been communicated to you and managers for years, and nothing was done. Reap what you sow now.
