Pros

- Rather nice, friendly people. - Nice office situated near the center and with a great view - Events, get-togethers and fruit - Camaraderie (of the trench variety, but still)

Cons

- Don't expect to be able to elicit any change or improve procedure or communications in any way. - ...and there is PLENTY to improve, so that's even worse. - Management will often make questionable, short-sighted decisions against the better judgement of the "local" experts brought in to avoid precisely this. - No real interest in innovation- no matter how many times they tell you about "Nexon 2.0" and "breaking into European market". - Be prepared to have no power to do anything except bowing and saying "aye aye captain" to whatever crazy schedule Nexon Korea or Nexon America bring to the table. - ...and there will be a lot, and very tight. - Complete obsession with micromanagement. Be ready to answer to your person in charge every 2 minutes. - Overtime. Overtime up the a**. 90% avoidable, or that could have been handled in a more sensible way. - Too much workload, too little (if any) headcount. - Reactive, not proactive: most of the time they will empower people to do things after something explodes, and not months ago where it could have been avoided.
