This is a one-man show, and we are all here to please him only. Wasn't this bad before. I used to have ownership, not anymore.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Not much for career advancement since the majority of senior roles are occupied by HQ personnels.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
pull your own weight. Fulfill the job responsibilities.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Too many incompetent people in higher positions, who refuse to listen.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Autonomy. A fewer number of FSEs. (Way too short term oriented) Competitive wages. and thinking about retention
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I get paid less than those I have to mentor. My roles and responsibilities extend far beyond my job description.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Pay better, reduce pay gaps. Less FSE, who are focused on short-term goals only. Promote within - not FSEs, but locally hired.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
As a Korean company, everything comes from top-down. How employees are treated, how things are communicated and etc. So, I'd way the executive team and the president.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Culture? Nothing. No one listens to reasons and forgot that they are in the states, not in Korea. Environment: Nonthing. Very hostile and total NIMBY style.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Culture. This is not Korea. I understand it's a Korean company, but they need to understand the local culture. Also, the leadership tends to discriminate against Korean Americans. The pay gap between tenured employees vs newly hired is just ridiculous.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
When I get paid less than the ones I have to indirectly manage, or cover the workload due to one's lack of capabilities. ie. I had to provide advice and step-by-step instruction on how to do someone's job, when that someone was getting paid way more than I did.
