Pros

Worldwide company Good brand Good products Commercially speaking is a successful business. The brand is recognized all over the world.

Cons

Koreans like ingredients and directing the company in latinoamericanos do not find a bridge between their culture and the one they find in the country where they arrive. Bad treatments to their employees and not assuming the local laws are part of their culture. Flex time and working by objectives are the tendencies and best practices today. For them is more important the rigid schedule than the objectives and punish people who reach their goals because we're not on time seated in their desks.

Pros

LG used to be my dream job. 5 years ago, Every good part of LG ended. They preach all day about wellness, work life balance, and investing in their employees. And they used to do just that but not any more. Their 100% paid insurance is literally the only perk and its a trap.

Cons

They take motivated and competent individuals and shackle them with the workload of 5 or 6 people while telling them they aren't good enough, not doing enough, even though they are somehow finding a way to juggle all of the immense workload. PTO is a joke and no one respects it, they will call and ask you to work on your PTO, on weekends and at 10pm. They have no shame. The compensation is entirely below the bar even with 100% paid insurance. Promotions & Raises? Those only go to Koreans. Its gone so far down hill in the last 5 years. The culture in that office is so toxic but the job market is so restricted that you can't leave.
