Pros

Great overtime benefit system that convert your overtime into 1.5 the amount of paid extra leave or cash, generally good benefits for Korean standards, modern office building

Cons

It really depend what team you'll end up in but I experienced a toxic work environment create by managers, extreme micromanagement, no chances to learn and improve, no career advancement espacially for foreign employees, bullying with reports to HR by several people that have been ignored, super high turn-over of the department should speak for itself

Pros

Coffeeshop for employees Free Lunch End-of-year Bonus (but that heavily relies on your direct manager) The genuinely nice coworkers

Cons

Where to start... - The marketing dept. is one of the most toxic places I have ever experienced, to the point that even other departments generally hate working with them. - There is a Korean website equivalent to glassdoor where the bad reviews for this company very quickly disappear. Hummm, I wonder how that happens? - They tell you one thing at the interview, then once you start the job you realize they heavily misguided you during the whole recruitment process. Examples: 1. As a non-Korean worker, you're told that Korean language proficiency would be a good asset, but it is not necessary. The first day you're there, people only talk to you in Korean (while telling you a lot of relevant and important information). The managers also bully you for not talking fluent Korean and treat you like a child instead of a freaking employee. 2. The job position they advertised has NOTHING to do with your actual tasks. You're basically a robot updating social media with the same sort of content over and over again, or translation some random documents. - Managers tell foreign employees whom to hang out with on breaks as if we're in the freaking kindergarten or something. This is an attempt to assimilate the "foreigners" instead of creating a healthy environment of integration. - Pressure either not to work overtime, or to work overtime whenever it fits them.
