Pros

Good pay. Really good engineers and PMs. Enjoyed working with them.

Cons

No leadership and no north star strategy. SEA ecom management was a joke. No backbone. Always bending to the Suwon HQ demands. SEA leaders know if you raised your concerns or challenge HQ, you got chopped. Lots of work by engineering and product teams would get thrown out just because Suwon decided to change things at the last minute and teams had to scramble constantly. Couldn't even use AI tools because Suwon said no. Then they proudly deployed an internal AI chat tool that was completely useless. Perhaps things have gotten better in 2026 but doubt it.

Pros

Pay and benefits - pay $0 a month out of pocket for health insurance and there's a good company match

Cons

Poor direction from management. Disconnect between Korea and US caused constant tension. Korean Business Managers assigned to various divisions are basically spies and everything ultimately goes through them. No work life balance and majority of day spent updating spreadsheets - and they don't allow ChatGPT, Claude, etc to assist with work when it would make work so much easier. Firedrills every day. Recently asked every employee to task out their entire work week and the spreadsheet had to be at least 40 hours. Micromanaged and constant fear of retaliation from upper management. Very little pathways to grow within company but great place to build resume and find a job elsewhere
