Hi,

I recently interviewed at Samsung semiconductor San Jose, expecting positive outcome, but have heard some alarming things about the culture.

Looking for an insider's view. Do you like working here? Are you empowered to make decisions? What should I know before taking the leap?

YoE = 8 years, coming in as manager, no direct reports

    Stay away from Samsung. It’s a company in big trouble now. Severe politics wars, unsuccessful projects. In 2021, attrition rate become 30%+ and more people are leaving. Upper management haven’t do anything to stop bleeding even if everyone knows this. Bad company culture. Promotion and salary raise is hard. Most of talented guy’s already gone so it will be worse and worse.

    Every Samsungian outside Korea is a slave to Samsung Koreans and this is the mentality of Koreans.

    I worked for Samsung telecommunications for a long time. Approvals needed for most things. They are very demanding. Work life balance is non existent. Be ready to jump in and self train
