Don't do it
Pay is the only reason. I will leave as soon as I'm able.
American workers are merely puppets. The Koreans run the whole show, and the dual management structure (one Korean and one American manager) is enough to drive one crazy. The direction is mainly from the immediate American manager, but if a Korean manager says something, you are expected to say "how high" when they say "jump." There is no communication between groups and no accountability. Promotions are, for the most part, given to "corp" engineers who are trained straight out of college in the "Samsung Way." One group now managed by a "corp" engineer has an incredibly high turnover rate, and yet he is still manager. Diversity is getting better, but promotions, hiring, etc., are still dominated by those of Korean origin.
As one of the previous reviews said: get rid of the Americans and fill in with Koreans.
