Pros

I guess the insurance is good

Cons

Qcells’ current IT infrastructure has several critical weaknesses that pose both operational and security risks. There is a noticeable lack of robust security controls with no strict enforcement of password policies and frequent reuse of the same or similar credentials across multiple systems which significantly increases the risk of compromise. The IT department is severely understaffed with only a few individuals responsible for managing all aspects of infrastructure including servers, applications, user provisioning and network security creating bottlenecks, slow response times and potential gaps in coverage. Additionally much of the environment relies on manual processes rather than automation which not only wastes resources but also raises the likelihood of misconfigurations and human error. On top of these structural issues management has shown a lack of commitment to both IT investment and employee well-being. Leadership consistently overlooks the concerns of staff fails to provide adequate resources and demonstrates little interest in improving the working conditions of the IT team. This combination of poor infrastructure understaffing and disengaged management leaves the company exposed and ill prepared for future growth or compliance requirements.

Pros

They pay for health insurance premium entirely. Contribute 2k to HSA if you opt into HDHP plan. Decent PTO + holidays

Cons

You cannot succeed here as an American. Unless you come in at upper leadership level, you must be Korean to progress. Toxic blame culture with no accountability. No collaboration across divisions, leaders only looking to further their power gain (at the expense of the company, let alone its employees). It seemed like the company actively hated their employees. 5 re-orgs in a couple years. Raises are very small (1-2%) even for high performers so salary quickly becomes much lower than market rate. You can be hired for one job and be given tasks for another. Like a completely different job. Employees not asked about transferring to other positions, it’s forced by management. Overall, very bizarre. Koreans have it better than Americans but on the flip side, they are expected to work 24/7. It’s sad for everyone.
