Pros

none really? they have OK insurance? you get lunch somtimes?

Cons

no growth. extremely disorganized management and HR. they come up with silly initiatives to make people focus on that and then scramble everyone from doing any actual good work. has no idea what it wants to be. management is so stuck in the past, the only thing they say they need to do is sell more products- thank you forward thinkers! you are stuck in an 'agency' that is korean.. very traditional - and then they are tending to the US company.. and the us company is your boss. so it is about 10 levels of management where everyone is juts afraid of each other and then there is you. it's bad. lots of people just trying to cover their own tail by acting like they are doing good work but no one is really doing anything. it's the worst place i've worked in my 15 years of working in this industry (agency and client side). ZERO culture here too.. very depressing place to work at.

Pros

- Some of the people are nice - Some of the people are talented - Pays for your insurance

Cons

- Upper management is out of touch with employees - You have no idea what the goals are for you or your team (everything is made up) - No clear growth trajectory. The idea here is "if you work long hours and say yes to everything, you might get promoted." - No transparency about your own compensation - No clear processes for work or even basic HR functionalities like compensation, paid time off, onboarding - No work life balance (people will slack or email you at all hours asking for things on made up timelines) - Regular meetings with Korean business leaders at 7 pm, where they will randomly begin speaking Korean when they don't want the Americans to understand - Generally misogynistic work culture - People file complaints with HR regularly about management being abusive, inconsiderate, and frankly discriminatory, and there are no changes - Forced people to return to office with no clear plan, without enough desks for everyone, and without working wi-fi in the building (seriously) - Creates fake KPIs and business goals that are all subject to change if someone from Korean management says so, with no rhyme or reason - At one point, our upper management and project management teams were tracking the number of days it took people to respond to emails from Korea, created some sort of index for this, and talked to us every week about our performance against this "KPI" - So many people quit that there is a "lack of resources" so nothing can ever get done - Burnout: Everyone is always talking about when they will quit/wanting to quit/wanting to coast by without doing anything - Employees are generally underpaid according to industry standard, and they did not raise salaries to meet inflation (not even close) - HUGE lack of diversity
