Pros

I don't have any to share

Cons

HR leadership. The leadership fails in every way possible. Racism exist but even when you go to the top it's still not being recognized that things need to change.

Pros

Free coffee? Honestly not much.

Cons

- Directors will steal your work to make themselves look good to their VPs - The pay is garbage - way below industry rate - HR is completely incompetent to handle any situation - mostly focuses on events and stupid perks like cheap toys imported from China with the Samsung logo slapped on it - Managers will undermine you - Employees gossip non-stop - Very low productivity - Korean top-down management - No communication skills in anyone - If you're female, you'll get sexually harassed at work at least twice a year - Managers will manipulate you undermine you - Managers hire pretty girls for 'culture fit' to improve office morale, meanwhile demoralizing all the engineers who worked hard to get their jobs - Everyone has a weak skill set with no product knowledge - Majority of employees have a drinking problem - No stocks/shares offered - Everyone is looking for a new job/interviewing - The nicest people in the company are the security guards and janitors - Constant layoffs - 15% churn every year - HR doesn't care enough about recruiting events so they send engineers to attend them - Only focuses on very low impact projects like building websites, no innovation - No promotion opportunities

Pros

Good benefits, stable pay, good holiday entitlement

Cons

no direction from management, you need to belong to the pack to get recognised, internal HR processes are just on the paper, employee support does not exist, management has no people management skills at all, nobody takes responsibility it is being just pushed down, no progress perspectives, company changes career steps during the contract with no notice - you just find out when you get an alms promotion packet. no internal progress perspectives - employees are just replaced with new lot, Asian culture promoted - always wins, no matter what.
