Pros

Nice offices, green spaces and canteen on site

Cons

Miles from anywhere and a nightmare to reach without driving. The company bus sits in traffic for hours, and that’s if you make it out of the office in time for it and aren’t working until late in the night. You are expected to work all hours of the day and night, especially for monthly deadlines, for no extra compensation and if you don’t it’s frowned upon. Live to work attitude, not work to live. Head office say jump and you must respond with how high. Most senior staff members placed from Korean HQ, so not a lot of career progression. Most staff are temporary workers and are treated as secondary to full employees. No understanding or compassion.

Pros

Benefits and pay are highly competitive, (but they have to be based on what is in store for you as an employee.) Well known brand for consumers. (Too bad it doesn't translate to employees or partners)

Cons

The worst company culture I've ever experienced, seen or heard of. You will be worked to the bone. No balance at all. Ever. And forget about any onboarding, development, tools or resources. You will be provided with nothing and expected to navigate the most outrageous hurdles at the same time. Additionally be prepared for toxic people in the masses. Not just one or two.... most. Including leaders and HR. Everyone had been conditioned to back stab, manipulate and tear each other down. And you can't trust HR or ER to do anything about it. There has been sexual harrasment, code of conduct violations and serious discrimination especially against women. HR knows about it and brushes it off. And In some cases they even participate in it. No urgency. No concern. No action. Micromanagement is constant from all levels. You will be handcuffed and expected to run around like a chicken with your head cut off on the least impactful and most meaningless work. Dont expect to enjoy any PTO either. You are always on. Unless you are a low performing dirt bag. Then you will be protected and allowed to make everyone miserable with your terrible attitude all while everyone that is decent and hardworking is expected to do your work. Everyone will try to place blame on Korea but the reality is you just have a cesspool of nasty, inept and terrible people at one place with no accountability.
