Even in the Bay Area, the Samsung culture is extremely top-down and overwork focused. I’ve heard too many stories of whole departments needing to throw everything out and build something totally different at the very end of year-long projects because on an executive’s whims. On the other hand their cafeteria food is supposedly very good (especially if you like Korean and Japanese).
It has been clear to us for years that Samsung has baaad internal communication issues. When you're at the forefront of technology, you're bound to trip up as bets and explorations don't pan out. Humans being humans, mistakes will happen, but they must be recognized to be corrected and prevented in the future. It's clear that Samsung culture prevents people from admitting mistakes, which of course only leads to more…
Jesus H. Christ on a fucking hockey stick. I doubt I've ever read such a breathless hit piece with so many unsupported assertions summarily presented as fact.
I worked for Samsung Semiconductor for ten years and left as a software engineering manager. None of these assertions and accusations in the comments here or below leveled at the people with whom I used to work ring true from my perspective.
Communication issues? Not admitting mistakes? Please... enlighten me. Tell me how we worked.
Why do foundry insider articles always hurt my brain? It's like good writing and proximity to the industry are antithetical.
Guessing, but possibly because almost all foundries are run by people who don’t speak English, at least not natively. You have a longer chain of communication between you and them, so things get muddied. I imagine that foundry news written in Chinese/Korean/Cantonese is much more well written and in depth.
Which leads to the narrative equivalent of a PowerPoint presentation where every slide is just plastered with numbers from corner to corner.

That turned out not to be the cause. https://news.samsung.com/global/infographic-galaxy-note7-wha...

Allow me to add some context. The Samsung culture could be described as militaristic, with accompanying rank and ceremony, therefore I can see how you identified the top-down chain-of-command relationships.
