Pros

The Korean management are trying to act more internationally, but have a long way to go. Their products are good, which gives the company a good product brand image.

Cons

They have some very talented and dedicated local ( i.e. non-Korean) employees, but management decision making is very top-down. The Korean staff blindly obey, showing total compliance, but often the impact on the business at local level is counter-productive. This demotivates the local staff. Their mobiles products used to lead the market, but they have lost their way in recent years.

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.
