Pros

People are qualified and nice generally. Leaving work on time was available (as it were not busy season after all) . For permanent employees, this is very stable job with pretty enough compensation (compared to other private firms), including opportunities to go oversee Kotra branch.

Cons

Public firms in Korea is still too hierarchical. Corporate culture and of course in decision making process. As an intern, it is almost not allowed to speak up my opinions. I understand expertise comes first, but the culture definitely hinders any possible improvements. Also the process of working is too slow compared to private firms.
