Don't stay too long

Pros

Amazing technology and passion throughout the organization. In early career, you will gain great experience and understand the drive needed for long term success.

Cons

Really tough place as a seasoned executive. The most important decisions are debated and decided in Korean -- you are informed of your actions in English and frequently without rationale. This makes it really hard to calibrate your decisions/recommendations to fit the shifting company priorities.

Pros

Nothing at all if non-korean, escape ASAP.

Cons

1, racial discrimination. All the chances and resources are korean-first, no matter they are doing the same or less or worse. 2, no work life balance at all, even for their own korean emplpyees. Yet they will enjoy free transport, meals and flat, while foreign employees get nothing. 3, no respect for employees. Always forcing you to work on holiday without OT or compensation. 4.no spirit of contract. Always taking advantage of you and demanding you to do extra works. 5.Poor organization and management in regional area. Lacking internal agreement before making decision.

High turnover, no vision

Pros

Pay and benefits can be great. Cafeteria has good food, for a cafeteria.

Cons

These guys wouldn't know a good idea if it punched them in the face. Awful workplace culture and layers of bureaucracy make for a poor work environment. Preferential treatment of Koreans and Indians, good luck.
