The reputation of the company.

The working style!
Samsung has a very strong working culture. It is very hierarchical, with very little innovation. Most orders come from the top and have to be followed at any price, in most cases without reflecting what is a good idea and what is not. Deadlines are always short, and you are expected to overwork and sometimes work weekends to meet them.
Being a foreigner in Samsung is not easy. People are recruited with the promise that Samsung employees can communicate in English, but that is far from true. As a non-Korean, you should be prepared to feel like an alien at times and be left out from many of the team interactions. Knowing what is going on is not easy. The career path for a non-Korean speaker is very limited.
