Pros

Great coworkers, fantastic benefits (excellent insurance, with most of the premiums covered by the company, 401K match, excellent employee purchase program). You work with some of the coolest products on the market, and work with some of the biggest technology partners and resellers in the US.

Cons

Too many proprietary systems and processes, I do not feel like my experience here helped contribute to my career prospects in more modern companies. You are constantly working within a Korean mindset, with ridiculous goals often established without any regard to actual market conditions, and can change at the drop of a hat when a new executive decides he wants to try something different.

Pros

* Work stability, no layoffs

Cons

* They count your working hours. ROFL. * Huge-size company with every possible Internet restrictions, interferring with your job (slow proxies, broken SSLs, inhibition of entire protocols like tcp/22, forbidden access to socials where software engineers debate techies, etc.) * Non-trust culture: Everyone suspects everyone else * No space for technical grow: if you want to take a training, that is NOT included in your worktime. That's ridiculous in a fast-pace muting world. * If you work as a Software Engineer, you have to take some incredibly messed internal algorithm proficiency certifications in C or Java, not recognised anywhere else of course * Internal portals are like labirints, impossible to understand. Some work only on Windows. Some may prompt js popups in Korean and kill your browser entirely. * Bureaucracy for anything that's easy, i.e. if you need a headphone see you must ask 10 approvals, with a chain of command going upto almost the company CEO. * You can take your first PTO day after at least 6 months, which I think is even illegal

Pros

Absolutely none. This is the truth.

Cons

Advise speaking to former employees before you have any consideration of applying to this company.
