So would most like to work there, but not use their services (re: previous posts about Google's low market share)? That sounds about right. :)

Roger that. That's exactly it. Its a big internation sexy name, a relatively cushy job and atmosphere compared to the horror of climbing the Korean conglomerate ladder.

Don't blame em. :p

Funny thing is... I know ppl that work there... but use Naver as their default homepage/search. At least when no one is looking. LOL.
