Toxic Place to Work In

Recommend

Pros

Decent office and pantry with a Starbucks in it. Pay is decent but not worth the extra effort.

Cons

Toxic cancerous culture. Heads of Department no experience, no initiative, no leadership. Clueless about running a business. Employees they hire have better knowledge than them. So that employees can be slaves to them. Incompetent bunch of people. Many Head of Departments smoke their way through their career, they are really useless. No work like balance. Everyone is always over working and sick. Morale is always low all the time.

Pros

Ethnic diversity promoted there, and some good-natured people working there...

Cons

...however their values get trashed by the culture which is about running around like a headless chicken, spinning wheels, doing things that don't really add any value just to look busy. Expertise is frowned upon in favour of just spinning wheels and wasting time on pointless leadership team appeasement. Empowerment non-existent in favour of box-ticking for leadership. Very little learning and development at all after the probation period. The epitome of that definition of madness where they just want to do the same thing over and again expecting a different result...but they never get it. Understanding of data and statistics is almost non-existent, with the rule being that it's only used to prove the opinion of the person using it, never to open up learning to inform action. Leadership team is an assortment of people from failed enterprises, not successful and market-beating ones. No internal job move opportunities unless you've been on the grad scheme, then it's a case of rolling out the red carpet. Made a big song and dance about having work-life balance but then those without kids or a significant interest in life outside the 8-6 set the tone for what's expected and aggressively hound those whose work isn't their life. Any expertise you offer will at best be slyly appropriated by the audience and no credit will be given to the source at all - this is the worst organisation I've ever been in for this sort of thing; at worst you'll be openly told off for daring to have an original thought.

Pros

if you are Korean and can speak Korean, welcome to join

Cons

for Non-Korean, do consider if you want to join, they can pay you higher, but it is not a good workplace, is a toxic cultures. if you hire as a manager, you can only follow Korean BM instructions, no other ideas will accepted (don't think that you can always change the culture, it is not possible). Employer branding, Inclusion and Cultures Diversity only as a show, nothing will happen. Hybrid work as job posted, too early for you to happy of. Only 1 day in a week is allow to WFH, and is subjected to management approval, please try your luck to apply.
