Pros

Qcells is a rapidly expanding company that is making a positive impact on the environment with its solar cells.

Cons

One of the biggest problems was the cliquey atmosphere. If you didn't fit in with the social group, it was difficult to make friends and feel like you belonged. There seemed to be a clear divide between the in-group and the out-group, which was not good for morale. Another problem was with the Human Resources department. They lacked the skills and willingness to handle HR issues, and often turned a blind eye to inappropriate behavior by people in authority. It didn't feel like there was much support for employees when it came to HR concerns. The biggest issue was safety. The work environment was not safe, especially when working with LED. There were no safe lockout procedures for the machines, which could start up or move with someone inside. As a result, many people have been injured and lost fingers. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed immediately.

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.
