Business Outlook
Pros
- Strong brand recognition - Opportunities to collaborate with international partners - International travel (depending on job function and team) - Competitive pay package for "early" (3-5 years experience) expats (from abroad working in HQ) - People are generally nice, not aggressive
Cons
- Dominant Korean culture of working (hierarchical) - Emphasis on Korean being the primary language of communication may be a barrier for expats looking to work here - Passive environment; people not rewarded for being initiative - Decision-making takes long (a problem for many conglomerates)
