      Use it to enjoy the expat experience not to build a career

      Pros

      They offer good pay and cover housing so you can save a lot. Plus, if you are an expat you pay lower taxes. You get privileges that other expats may not - access to certain leaders, events, passes on certain silly things required of locals.

      Cons

      Expats are often promised the ability to work for a global company but the environment in Korea is, well, Korean. It requires that the expat adapt a lot to the local culture and environment and though during interviews and sell dinners you are promised faster advancement or the ability to shake things up b/c they need your diverse thought and opinion, the reality is, it's much easier for everyone if people adapt to the status quo, which is what happens.

      Pros

      The company offers pretty nice benefits. Growth is very slow and hard to advance unless you excel above and beyond.

      Cons

      The company while strives for globalization of workforce, it tends to heavily rely on Korean Americans in the office. The works tends to be put a lot more on Korean speaking workforce than others by far. The company has recently gone through so much changes including budget cut and workforce downsizing and it has started to strain those remaining and cause stress and exhaustion of working lots of overtime.

      Pros

      Great benefits, worked wGreat benefits, worked with some really good people a lot of potentialith some really good people a lot of potential

      Cons

      Koreans are very distant to non-Koreans. Korean management while being very capable in Korean style business practices are out of their element internationally. 2 tiers of employees, Korean and everyone else. No room for advancement. Koreans see non- Koreans as lazy, Non-Koreans see Koreans as needing to re-event the wheel everyday (Ground Hogs Day, everyday) Life gives you lessons and opportunities, Samsung was a definite lesson. New CEO bragged he worked for Jack Welch was going to make things happened. For that to happen he would have had to change the whole company culture….Never going to happen.
