      Great Company with good business ideas let down by the Korean Culture being forced within the subsidiary.

      Pros

      - Decent Salary - Very good benefits - A lot of potential to learn in a busy environment about the industry - Many good ideas (that aren't realised due to the unecessary need to get things done quickly)

      Cons

      - The Koreans have no trust in any westerners. Countless times I have witnessed arguments where I feel the Westerners are being treated unfairly - There's always a rush to do everything which, at times, hinders the business - Too many decisions are forced onto the subsidiary by the Korean HQ. Too many pointless back and forth changes - Poor internal IT structure and in house software. Very difficult to use. - Too much "respect" given to Korean VPS and none to Western VPs

      Korean Business Culture and issues--even in the USA offices

      Pros

      Budgets are available if you have an appropriate cause. Excellent benefits, especially health coverage. Good support for travel.

      Cons

      Money/Profit obsessed company (but that makes them successful) Lots of politics, meetings, and endless reports & reports of reports. Korean business culture and hierarchy, even in the USA. After hours drinking expected. Demands of managers or their bosses trump any customer request. Expect to drop everything when upper management from Korea visits. If you are not Korean, you will not make much progress. Use this company as a stepping stone. Management changes every year in December, so there is yearly turmoil and disorganization until the new boss settles in.
