We make cool things with code

■ A Sense of Duty
Hyundai Global Software Center Co., Ltd. was founded with the vision of rebuilding a company that had collapsed in this era.

We aim to foster a horizontal organizational culture, free from the excessive justification of promotions and meritocracy often found in traditional Korean companies — and without the pressures of alcohol-centered gatherings.

■ Company Vision
Genesis 1:31 – “God called the dry ground ‘land,’ and the gathered waters he called ‘seas.’ And God saw that it was good.”

Professor Dr. Kim, Sungho / CEO, Founder
