Not such a great place to work in a down economy.
Not such a great place to work in a down economy.
The company uses good cutting edge technology. There are real engineering tasks to work on.
There are interesting problems to solve. There are technically bright people to work with.
Constant cost cutting. Layoffs almost every quarter, leading to overloaded resources and very poor morale. Management tripping over themselves to outsource everything from software development, manufacturing and now engineering of new products as well as support of existing. This too is leading to very poor morale.
Especially when you are asked to train your replacement in China or Israel and then watch your job disappear.
How do you sleep at night when you are dumping US employees left and right in a down economy, and then turning around and replacing them with people in China, Israel, India, etc.?
I wonder how many former US KT employees have burned up all of their savings or worse, lost their homes as a result of KT's shameless pursuit to outsource anything and everything as fast as possible?

Prepare slides on self introduction and previous projects. On site questions about drawings and simulation. Interviewer does not seem to care whether you understand the engineering principles. It was weird that they picked out the pettiest detail in

4 rounds of interview in total. All of them went smoothly. However, the HR forgot about my email address and didn’t inform me with the more upcoming interviews, so I had to follow up with her after one month.
