Pros

- support for certification - access to Linkedin Learning and Udemy - lots of engagement activities

Cons

- traditional work culture (forget Agile, specially if you are working with Koreans) - deadlines are set BEFORE requirements are even duscussed with the developers - waterfall software development (though they practice scrum/kanban techniques BUT its all for show. Underneath, it is Waterfall and traditional with deep level of hierarchy. - KOREANS value hierarchy and top down management

Pros

Dev centric company Lots of opportunities for devs like research, certifications, trainings, etc

Cons

You must be willing to sell your soul to survive with this kind of environment It was just my 2nd week and my teammate shouted at me already for not following the instructions that he did NOT provided to me completely Lots of opportunities BUT toxic culture Toxic HR and toxic management (PH). Mental health of the employees is not a priority. If you resign because your mental health is at stake, that will not matter to them. They would still convince you over and over again to stay without considering your state. The Koreans tho are friendly.
