Pros

Large company with great benefits. Flexible schedule due to the fact that you dont work in a office

Cons

Decisions come from Korea and most of the time the US employees it effects are not considered. Very unorganized with how they give you information and resources to be effective at you job. Expectations at times are very unrealistic and fluff is preferred over quality a lot.

Pros

They pay well. That is the only reason as an expat to work for them in their HQ. Nothing else particularly good to say.

Cons

There is zero opportunity for professional development. There seems to be a general lack of trust in non-koreans and therefore an unwillingness to give them the access to the information etc they need to perform their duties. Which in turn renders them ineffective. The management system is extremely hierarchical and top heavy, and there is a complete inability and unwillingness of any non-executive to make a decision. The way projects are managed is with arrogance and a huge superioty complex to non-koreans, which when coupled with the general lack of experience and knowledge in managing projects internationally is a recipe for disaster.
