Typical Korean Management

Pros

Competitive salary and exposure to varying levels of work

Cons

Very Korean style of management, many things have to go through your Korean expat and many reports to be done in the Korean formats. Many Korean documents in which some might not make sense to apply to local context. Expect long hours. Some CEO you work with will be good, some are just down for business results neglecting the people aspect.

Pros

Tons of company resources, great benefits, amazing infrastructure

Cons

This company lures foreign recruits to come work at their Korea HQ with competitive salaries. Unfortunately, they do not tell you that there is a double standard for performance evaluations. They never communicated this ahead of time. There was no transparency at all. Foreigners are evaluated at a higher standard because of their higher incomes. You want to hold foreigners at higher standard because of their higher pay? then give them a higher position that would be aligned with their salary so that they can deliver on higher expectations. This is discriminatory. Their bait and switch practice is very questionable and incredibly unfair

Pros

The salary is good and good working envoirnment.

Cons

Management changed all the time. Has to spend lots of after hours to communicate with the peers in Korea due to different time zone. No work balance at all.
