Don’t believe the 4 star rating. The leadership team works with HR to boost the numbers because they don’t have that many reviews and find people within the company to write a positive review. The leadership team just wants good reviews to try to impress headquarters.
Company has a traditional, top down culture and HQ in Korea does not communicate any plans with teams in SRA. They will also play the blame game when things do not go right. The leadership team have no problem yelling at direct reports, even though many things are outside of employees' control.
SRA leaders surround themselves with Korean yes-men and does not interact with non-Korean employees outside of the necessary discussions. Top leaders are from Korea and are on rotational programs. They will do and say anything to help themselves get the next job. They do not have much vested interest in you or the organization because they will be gone in 2 years. It’s all politics to get ahead for their promotion.
There is little trust in employees’ time and effort. Leaders will micromanage you and try to get you fired if you talk back or give feedback. They don’t reward you for your hard work: no WFH policy, no equity, blamed for anything that goes wrong. You are expected to work late no matter the request. Korean employees are sent to the US offices to monitor the work and attendance of non-Koreans.
Toxic work environment, poor leadership, short-term focus, constant surveillance, and hierarchical culture from a traditional Asian company.
