Pros

- Innovative products and strong R&D team. - Big brand name.

Cons

- Political. - Korean-centric. - Dictatorial management style. - Underqualified Korean expariates stationed at overseas offices to take on mid-level leadership roles. - These business managers has strong power in decision making but bears little responsibility if outcome is poor. Those under them become scapegoats unfortunately. - Appraisal system is flawed, and can be easily influenced by the likings of these business managers. - Incompetent HR that only act according to these Koreans' and head office's instructions, and has little mindshare on the welfare of local employees. - No career development. - High staff turnover.

Pros

I've worked at a number of companies throughout my career, but this Silicon Valley company stands out as one of the best experiences I've had professionally. From day one, the culture here is genuinely different — and in the best way possible. The team is incredibly collaborative. Whether you're working cross-functionally or within your own department, people are always willing to roll up their sleeves and help. There's no ego here — just a shared commitment to doing great work together.

Cons

No cons for now so can't say nothing
