Preparation Resources

Strivers DSA sheet is good. And in general doing CP helps. Apart from that standard leetcode and DSA interview questions

Make multiple resumes with different combinations to be prepared for all kinds of opportunities. (Personally my Samsung resume was the one i spent least time in making!)

Interview Experience

  1. OA A basic DSA question. 4 hours 1 question

  2. Interview 2 rounds Technical round We were given a scenario and it was discussed in the interview. My scenario was based on a smart home setting with digital appliances. Resume topics are discussed extensively HR round Samsung cares about culture fit more than anything. Clarity of communication and clear intent to work in their company is a must.

DSA CS fundamentals

Yes. Typical HR questions. Why this company ? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Why not other company? What skills do you bring for us ? Why Korea? Would you fit in korean culture ?

Be confident. If they take you to interview then that means they want to hire you!

Other Applications

I think i faced a lot of rejections. But it is a part of this game of intern season. It is important to not take anything personally. It is an unforgiving season. Doesnt spare the best of best. Just believe in yourself and keep moving. Any rejection most likely isnt a reflection of your hardwork. 90% of times your rejection wont even be your fault unless you mess up hard.

Overall Experience

Look at the bigger picture! Working at a company shouldn’t be your life’s aim!

Organizational Culture

Korea follows strict heirarchy. The typical corporate culture. The people are very nice and helpful. Strict work hours are imposed. Typically 40 hr work week, 5 days a week. Yup language barrier is definitely there. But most people in my team knew english well enough.

Language barrier, different culture than india, vegetarian food is hard to find but manageable.
