I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics America (Ridgefield Park, Bergen, NJ) in Jan 2009
Interview
Exceptionally drawn out process. Having interviewed for several positions at Samsung, I found the company tends to be indecisive and generally slow. Multiple teams waxed about how desperately they needed to hire someone to help with the workload, but then they would take weeks or sometimes over a month between interview steps.
My interviews focused on explaining my work experience and my reasons for seeing this particular job at this particular company. Interviewers were easy going and most kept their reactions close to their chest.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the biggest risk you ever took, in personal or professional life?
Interview process went quickly, started with a phone screening with a recruiter, followed by a phone call from the hiring manager the same day. Later that week, there was a 4-person panel interview (30 minutes per person) on the team, and then a decision was made the following week.

Question 1
They provided context on a certain project and its progress, so the question was how, as a project manager, would I go about overcoming the current obstacle.
Processo demorado, por volta de 2 a 3 meses até a contratação, porém são muito organizados e rigorosos no critério de seleção, condizente com a postura séria de uma empresa de grande porte.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics America (New York, NY) in May 2021
Interview
1st phone interivew - Casual. Usual questions. HR read the job description from online posting. Nothing unique.
2nd Interview - Great conversation. Very friendly and professional. Good questions around experience.
3rd Interview - Not so good. Fortunately for the Interviewer I won't mention names, but he is terrible. On a Zoom call, he turns off his camera. Zero respect there. Then his first question is "Tell me why I should hire you?" As an interviewee, feels like this person is a dated old fart whos full of himself. Lack of professionalism is ridiculous.
