Pros

Some good colleagues Nothing else

Cons

Management is very bad. The supervisor cannot give reasonable or clear instructions. Management often yells at employees for no reason and takes his anger out on them. You cannot ask any questions about the instructions. Asking questions is equivalent to not following the instructions and you will be given a warning. Almost all the instructions given are unreasonable and do not help production capacity. It is just a waste of time doing same work over and over. The supervisor always gives unrealistic and urgent instructions, and the tasks are changed every day and cannot be questioned. The coordination between departments is almost zero, and we are always paying for the mistakes made by others on the machines. Above all that, working overtime cannot get the alternative day off all the time, (once was even forced to work 24 hours) pay is very unsatisfying

Pros

They pay for health insurance premium entirely. Contribute 2k to HSA if you opt into HDHP plan. Decent PTO + holidays

Cons

You cannot succeed here as an American. Unless you come in at upper leadership level, you must be Korean to progress. Toxic blame culture with no accountability. No collaboration across divisions, leaders only looking to further their power gain (at the expense of the company, let alone its employees). It seemed like the company actively hated their employees. 5 re-orgs in a couple years. Raises are very small (1-2%) even for high performers so salary quickly becomes much lower than market rate. You can be hired for one job and be given tasks for another. Like a completely different job. Employees not asked about transferring to other positions, it’s forced by management. Overall, very bizarre. Koreans have it better than Americans but on the flip side, they are expected to work 24/7. It’s sad for everyone.
