Pros

Recognizable name and a good place for resume building

Cons

Their salary/hourly rate is on the lowest end of the spectrum compared to industry. There's a lack of quality projects for analysts. Management are confused about what analyst are supposed to do. Most top management do not have the education background to support/communicate what they needed. In addition, work hours is long. Benefit is non-existent while promotion is based on ethicity more than work quality (if you speak korean, you'll be fine). Horrible internal system and a lack of clearance of what everyone should do (analyst had to help stuffed marketing bags)
