Business Outlook

Pros

HR people were friendly and nice Somewhat systematic work role

Cons

Management / supervising were poor Most of the employees are here for 1-2 year term from Korea, too Korean-minded Poor training system and you are pretty much on your own in the beginning If you are considered "young", be ready for occasional unfair treatment There is no HR in any other branch except new jersey Mostly people in high rank position are straight from Korea, and there is no hope for better adjustment for local employees
