I've noticed this company has alot of ads and positions open for non-esl positions(on linkedin).

However, I can't find any info on them or working conditions. Anybody know about them?

One of my friends used to (maybe still does) work for them. She actually worked at Microsoft, but she was employed by Accenture. They're one of the largest consulting companies in the world, I think. I heard that they were going to buy Symbian from Nokia. They're definitely a legitimate company.

I worked there for three years; under the Avanade subsidiary (joint venture with Microsoft, might be what above poster's friend was.)

I can't necessarily speak to how their business operates in Korea, but in America it was an 80% travel job doing either management or systems integration consulting in more or less every industry. I did systems integration consulting in freight and healthcare.

Overtime is unpaid (salaried positions) and a pretty standard thing.

I used to teach Accenture employees Business English around three years ago. They are one of the largest consultancy companies around the world. Just find out what you would be doing otherwise you could end up teaching in the company.

They have 60+ listings for seoul constantly.....either their tunoverr over rate is higher than wonderland or they just post constantly every week.
