Pros

The company is huge, so the work that you're on is likely to make a big impact in the real world. The company kind of carries/pushes you forward. You'll learn big-business know-how and work with talented people. It's the biggest and one of the best companies in Korea. I personally made some really good friends while I was there.

Cons

Pay isn't all that high (you can't negotiate pay), and bonus depends a lot on the company's performance. Hours can be very bad at times, with little to no consideration for work/life balance. The promotion culture is "first come first serve" with a strict hierarchy.

But it's getting better!! The company improved so much during my time there.

Advice to Management

Lack of work/life balance drives people away.
