- Lots of extremely young + talented employees means some great people but many are too junior/afraid to speak up - If you're mid-senior level of experience be extremely careful - majority of senior leadership is only concerned with looking good and keeping their departments protected - Senior managers will lie directly to your face and to others - KPIs aren't taken seriously by management but you will be held accountable to them - You can be thrown under the bus rather than have managers admit the direction or performance on a project is underperforming, to the point where people will lose their jobs.

After the acquisition, Webtoon brought new leadership from Korea to replace all existing leaders (executive levels etc). Since then, the company has been going downhill for the following reasons: - Company goals / kpis are dropping very quickly, as the new leadership doesn't understand how the business works nor listens to staff about how to improve them - Cultural conflict: The new leadership is attempting to command and control, which is damaging morale and tenured / high performing employees are leaving in droves. - There is no strategy or direction from leadership - and whenever pressed for it employees told to "keep quiet" - Teams/employees have no autonomy or empowerment. Unfortunately the new culture is expecting people to be told what to do (and not to question things) - There is no career growth and lack of interest in developing in career paths for employees - Bonuses for 2024 are zero (except for a select few folks), minimal raises and no rehiring over people who leave (which means more work for less money). - The new leadership from Korea has never been in executive roles before, nor have run a company. Unfortunately the combination of ego, incompetence and lack of experience means the employees will suffer and the companys performance will continue to go downhill Side note: Allen Lau is no longer the CEO post-acquisition (The Glassdoor info needs to be updated)
