Avoid if you have a choice - Engineer SK Group Employee Review

- Unreasonable work hours, especially for Korean employees. - Too many inexperienced, entry-level co-workers or engineers from unrelated fields. About 80% of the team should not be in these roles given their skill level. They have no idea what they are doing and show little willingness to learn. As a result, the burden falls entirely on the managers, who end up performing engineering duties as well. - The company is not prepared for U.S. standards. All documentation is in Korean, and the only engineers capable of doing the work are Korean contractors. This creates an environment that is nearly impossible for non-Korean speakers to work in. Additionally, around 80% of the U.S.-hired Korean employees are completely unqualified, entry-level workers. - The workload is carried by a small number of capable employees, who are forced to work 60–70 hours per week and eventually burn out. It doesn’t matter how good you are because most work is outsourced, and internal employees have only minimal access or authority to fix issues. Many problems have been broken for years, and at this point, there is no realistic way to fix the root causes.
