Pros
Great year end gifts and good bonuses.
Cons
Starting with my job interview, the job description was misleading and the true job duties were not adequately described. I would not have taken the position had I known what the real responsibilities were. Once I was hired, I discovered that management hires people who are over-qualified and doesn't make use of their skills/experience. There is also very little communication from management and limited on the job training. You are expected to figure things out for yourself which is extremely frustrating, inefficient and counter-productive. Asking for help is discouraged. Their home-grown systems are very user-unfriendly, inefficient, and error-prone resulting in much frustration and time wasted. Time-off is granted begrudgingly, and you are expected to take your work with you. The Great Workplace initiative is mostly window-dressing and has done little to improve the corporate culture. The culture is still very regimented and oppressive. Management, which is mostly Korean, shows little respect for their employees, often publicly humiliating you in front of your coworkers. Management often plays favorites, not appreciating and making use of individuals' unique talents. Opportunities for advancement are limited to Koreans unless you are in sales and marketing, which is disheartening and discouraging for all other employees.
