I had one or more interviews. They asked normal questions about my strengths, weaknesses, work style, and what I hope to gain from the company in the future. The company has a vertical culture, not an international one, with Korean bosses focused solely on Korean company revenue. It seems like some people might not grow with the company, like they're just pretending to work.
