“Lack of transparency”

Verified User Former Employee · L**** · Product Manager - Nov 24, 2021

Pros- Friendly working environment
- Good location
- Interesting projects
- Sales growth over the past 10 years

Cons- Shadow hierarchy. Every Director has a Korean shadow manager who channels the information exchange between the regional offices and the Korean HQ.
- Lack of transparency. HQ doesn’t share most of the info. Regions are kept in the dark and are treated as external third parties.
- Top managers lack basic knowledge on the trends that are disrupting the automotive industry.
- All important decision-making is done in Korea, with Korean customers in mind. Very little regard on the needs of customers from ‘overseas regions’.
- Impossible to make an impact in the regional offices. Regional office merely provide recommendations to the global HQ, recommendations which most of the time are ignored.

Reasons for Resignation- Got better pay and the possibility to make an impact elsewhere.
