Pros

No obvious cons except salary.

Cons

The company is operating in alternate universe. The Koreans manage in a way that break US laws and they hire some of the most wicked personal to enforce that on American employees including the department of human. The work environment is highly toxic, racist and it dogs eat dogs. Stay away even from white collar jobs at this company. You will regret it . Don't be fooled by pay which may lure some people. Your health & Mental health will suffer significantly.

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.
