Pros

Lower workload and delivery stress compared to other Korean companies

Cons

The company advertise well-being and work-life balance but is slowly reducing WFH for no reason and will take no questions. By 2026 we need to do 60% office work but there aren't even enough office seats to accomplish that, teams often have to split up to fit at the office or work from meeting rooms, which kills the whole point of collaboration at the office. Korean managers are too scared, they take hierarchy too seriously and can never demand better things from the Swedes. Food is terrible, cafeteria is dirty. The pay is lower than competitors, often with 0% annual bonus, personal financial growth is very slow. You may feel stagnated in life.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
