Pros

The food was okay. Not sure if they still do that anymore

Cons

Dishonest management that reacts to situations without considering the consequences or consulting the empirical evidence. Company had a growth-at-all-costs attitude until the (ex-VC) CEO realized that that strategy was no longer en vogue among VCs, at which point he decided to pivot by firing a large fraction (>=50%) of the company's U.S. workforce. If you work at KT, know that you are not a valued employee; you are an expendable asset whose worth is determined solely by the particular project you've been assigned.

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid pay and good benefits. The individual contributors I worked with were great and the first two levels of management were easy to work with and were always working to help me and the company.

Cons

*This does not reflect the hard decision KT had to make laying off 300+ employees due to COVID -19* Vastly Inferior product compared to competition, despite what they say throughout the interview process. Reliance on overseas call centers that reflect poorly on the entire organization and make the US salespersons job much harder than it needs to be. Poor decision making by upper management - They are becoming more focused on the short term bottom line than creating long term sustainable growth.
