Evaluation of KOG’ from employees that have worked there before:

Positive: Unexpectedly good welfare. Gives all 3 meals a day. Cafeteria food is quite good.

Negative: Project planning is horrible. Lots of people with ‘stable’ job positions. They never get fired even if they ruin the game.

Positive: Good heating and cooling inside the building. Doesn’t make new games.

Negative: Demands passion of working overtime and on weekends as if it was obvious. Demands to be friendly with everyone. Reps make the game. Doesn’t make new games

Positive: I learned a lot and learned how to live life by working hard

Negative: I was forced to learn what I wrote on the positive.

Positive: Provide 3 meals per day. Family like atmosphere

Negative: Family like atmosphere, crazy amount of overtime, being even 1 second late is treated as late for work, have to give 1 written explanation per 3 lates. (fired after 3 written explanations) but no matter when you sign yourself off from work, the time always records 00:00. In other words, it doesn’t get recorded.

Recently, management team has been checking if employees are properly working overtime or not.

Got asked to resign just because of not having enough overtime hours compared to other employees. Despite how they were demanding self sacrifice because ‘we’re family’, they get rid of the entire team because of bad result. Asks people to resign if they don’t need them. Company is a profit oriented organization so it makes sense to throw away people they don’t need anymore, but I wouldn’t have felt as betrayed if they didn’t say ‘we were family’ from the start.

Positive: Gives good food, clean workplace, is located in developed area in Daegu

Negative: Human resources team doesn’t do their work properly and gives other people sense of deprivation and hurts employee’s willingness to work. For example, KOG head manager doesn’t use ‘recreation fee’ that should be handed out to each employees fairly. There are often cases where fees disappear when we didn’t even have recreation outings or bought any snacks. There are times where he lets a team member to do the work then reports that he did it. It’s a problem that’s occurring because person in charge of human resources is not administrating properly.

Positive: People who are confident in their health and endurance can test themselves to the extreme. There are ‘politics’ in some parts and but there are places without it.

Negative: Plans that you wonder how can anyone come up with such a thing gets passed. Littered with people who won’t get fired even if the result is bad. The problem is, ridiculous plans keep coming up because of that and actually gets implemented in the field. Vicious cycle. It doesn’t take even 2 months for your health to get ruined due to frequent overtime hours. New employees last at maximum 4 months. People say you endured well if you last 6 months.

Positive: Gives all 3 meals a day. Also gives fruits. Can go oversees training 1 time per year. Negative: Don’t work here if you don’t like working overtimes. Paycheck system is strange. Pay goes up not depending on person’s skill but on power of their bottom(sitting for overtime). Slow in refilling manpower. Don’t know if they can’t hire people or they don’t.
