      Lack of Cross-cultural Understanding on Both Sides

      Pros

      Local employees incredibly helpful especially within same team. There are pockets of good collaboration between locals and Koreans and things have improved over the last 5 years. Excellent technical skills, Koreans have great capability in managing businesses. Products are getting better each year. Opportunity to learn about working in a fast moving corporation. Working for a well known company gives you a sense of satisfaction when you read how successful it is. Company is moving into interesting and exciting new markets.

      Cons

      Work life balance is challenging, however if work is enjoyable and fulfilling the balance is not so important. Too much focus on technical skills rather than leadership, managing change and communication. This leads to frustration and lack of understanding by employees of their roles and responbibilities and how what they do impacts the organisation. Too much top-down Korean management style, unfortunately this also applies to many local managers who use this as an excuse not to give feedback or support. Lack of awareness of skill gaps, managers don't get feedback on leadership capability only revenue i.e. as long as they sell/market/manage products well they will be seen as high performers irrespective of how they treat the people around them. They generally get promoted.

      Long hours, random work and sometimes rework, but technically cutting edge.

      Pros

      They are working on some really cutting edge technologies. The management is understanding and trying, but the work has to get done. Generally flexible in terms of daily schedule. You can work from home some days if needed.

      Cons

      Samsung Telecom America is the offshore for Samsung Korea and they get treated like that. The work has to get done. You will face some unrealistic deadline. You may face some lack of information sharing situations.
