Long hours, low pay, Korean business standards outside of Korea.

Business Outlook

Pros

Company name opens many doors. Benefits such as insurance are great. Large number of employees across the various companies allows for lots of networking.

Cons

There is no work life balance, with average working days normally exceeding 10 hours and working during saturdays. Management does not conduct business in English, so all internal meetings are held in Korean, making it difficult to participate in meetings. Decisions are never made in meetings, as Koreans are not comfortable having open discussions. Management changes every year, making it very difficult to carry out short term and medium term goals.
