Business Outlook

Pros

It's considered a decent company compared to average local firms in South Korea.

Cons

This place is known for their classic Korean office environment which is often unbearable to most people from western culture. This place is not a branch which means it is run by local people and there is no interference from the global. Even the local employees leave the place in less than a year due to corruption and uncivilized business practices.
