Pros

Great benefits, decent pay and work culture.

Cons

Very hierarchical, formal approval processes are unproductive, lacks flexibility for remote work despite global office environment. Doesn't make sense to require us to come into the office to hop on virtual calls with those who are not local when the same can be done at home.

Pros

They pay for health insurance premium entirely. Contribute 2k to HSA if you opt into HDHP plan. Decent PTO + holidays

Cons

You cannot succeed here as an American. Unless you come in at upper leadership level, you must be Korean to progress. Toxic blame culture with no accountability. No collaboration across divisions, leaders only looking to further their power gain (at the expense of the company, let alone its employees). It seemed like the company actively hated their employees. 5 re-orgs in a couple years. Raises are very small (1-2%) even for high performers so salary quickly becomes much lower than market rate. You can be hired for one job and be given tasks for another. Like a completely different job. Employees not asked about transferring to other positions, it’s forced by management. Overall, very bizarre. Koreans have it better than Americans but on the flip side, they are expected to work 24/7. It’s sad for everyone.
