Pros

Good benefits, easy access to visa related benefits

Cons

Everything else. Poor management, toxic work culture, racism and sexism run rampant. Turnover rate is extremely high, and the company is running out of operators/engineers to hire due to nobody wanting to work here (understandably so). If you aren't able to speak/understand Korean, and refuse to work unpaid overtime, expect to be handed little to no responsibility, and treated like trash. Qcells will also pay you a lot less if you are a non-US citizen, since you don't have a choice but to keep working here. (The longevity bonus for working a DECADE here is $500.)

Pros

They pay for health insurance premium entirely. Contribute 2k to HSA if you opt into HDHP plan. Decent PTO + holidays

Cons

You cannot succeed here as an American. Unless you come in at upper leadership level, you must be Korean to progress. Toxic blame culture with no accountability. No collaboration across divisions, leaders only looking to further their power gain (at the expense of the company, let alone its employees). It seemed like the company actively hated their employees. 5 re-orgs in a couple years. Raises are very small (1-2%) even for high performers so salary quickly becomes much lower than market rate. You can be hired for one job and be given tasks for another. Like a completely different job. Employees not asked about transferring to other positions, it’s forced by management. Overall, very bizarre. Koreans have it better than Americans but on the flip side, they are expected to work 24/7. It’s sad for everyone.
