Good products, bad management

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to manage the awesome product pipeline in your portfolio.

Cons

Bad coordination between main headquarters (South Korea), regional headquarters, and local subsidiaries. Yearly sales plans are inflated and, if not properly adjusted, could end up hurting your quarterly bonus as you may not reach key targets.

Need for Agility to work in Hierarchical Organization

Pros

Everything is organized, with the degree of organization at times overwhelming or in excess. There is opportunity to do well after the initial consideration is done for HQ folks.

Cons

You have to take on all the input from HQ on how and what things to get done. There is little room the imagination or initiative, just keep your head down, listen to your supervisor and get the job done seems the general attitude.
