Pros

Salary is slightly better compared to other companies.

Opportunity to work with some good quality persons, but it is rare.

You'll have to learn to do many tasks which are not your specialty.

Brand name: working at SCT will open doors and give you the opportunity to move to another company with a good, valuable move.

Cons

High-stress working environment.

No work-life balance, long working hours for almost nothing.

Low working efficiency.

Hard to get a raise or recognition for all your hard work.

Skinflint; they make a lot of calculations before approving spending money for you.

All decisions shall be made by Koreans; you are just there to think instead of your manager.

No career for non-Koreans.

They have no understanding of international business practices.

No training is given to non-Koreans; you are supposed to learn by yourself.

Korean culture is too rigid.

Strong hierarchical culture of serving management.

Quick to report everything to their managers, even if it is lies.

Hiring locals to lay groundwork, to build a work strategy, then quickly replaced by Koreans.

Different attitude towards non-Koreans.

Favouritism to Koreans; all benefits only for Koreans. Also, your managers will take all benefits due to your successful actions. If you fail, you'll be the only one responsible and to blame.

No expertise in construction and engineering fields.

Too hierarchical and slow to make or adopt decisions.

Too much politics.

Racist, arrogant, and disrespectful to others.

Advice to Management

Trust locals; many times they are better than Koreans.

Change your attitude if you want to have more projects in the world.

Open your mind to the world.

Meet life balance.
