CSOFT International Response

We appreciate your feedback, it's important for us to learn more about the perception of our management structure. While CSOFT is an international company, we do experience a lot of cultural influence from our staff. In China, its quite common for people to not want to approach upper management with questions or concerns. We work hard to try to change this cultural norm in order to make the office a comfortable experience for all our employees. CSOFT provides question and answer sessions with the CEO and direct access to upper management in order to encourage people to reach out. We encourage questions, suggestions, comments, and constructive criticism from all of our employees in order to create a transparent work space.

Pros

Outside of "emergencies", I had decent work-life balance as a remote employee. Immediate team members were great.

Cons

Other reviews will say the same - upper management is wild. I had a decent time at this company only so long as I fell under the radar, but you'll have to interact eventually. Leadership plays favorites. There are a few employees who have been there for ages. Anyone can come under fire at any time, and if you're not a favorite you might be "laid off."
