Pros

Great working-level people that keep the revenue coming in. Vehicle lease opportunity is a nice benefit. Decent opportunities for career movement. Dedicated to DEI first practices.

Cons

The executives are so mid it’s painful, but they hide in meetings and behind closed office doors most of the time. Can you imagine performing at a Glassdoor 23% success rating and keeping your job? That’s the CEO and COO at Hyundai. Promotions are likely imminent with that performance. Too many leaders with automotive tech or industrial administration degrees running engineering areas, instead of engineers (that’s like a paralegal running your legal department). There is a huge corporate culture problem, with bureaucracy, favoritism and governance preventing progress while safeguarding horrible and inept leaders. This reinforces the significant disparity between division workload and job-grade-skills at similar grade levels. Promotions and job openings are mostly pre-determined for a specific internal or even external candidate, everyone knows it.

Pros

A paycheck and basic benefits

Cons

Never in my career have I experienced such a dichotomy surrounding corporate culture where externally the company appears to have such a strong reputation but internally harmful, unsafe, and illogical/optics-driven practices run rampant with low employee morale (as you can see by all of the other reviews). The HR function within this organization is the epitome of - “we are here to protect the company.” EEOC violations run wild up to the highest levels, and the two core cultural pillars prioritized in “ways of work” are hierarchy and optics vs data or logic. As you can also see by all of the reviews, the RTO policy was honestly comical. I think someone assumed throwing in the word “flexible” every other sentence in the policy would distract from the fact that it is anything but. There are set working hours you must come into and exit the office along with break times and badges must be swiped for entrance and exit. Publicly leadership portrays an understanding and empathetic dialogue but behind closed doors is quite the opposite. Job Seeker Recommendation: unless you are desperate for a paycheck - save yourself.
