Pros

Easy worklife, decent pay, infact at senior levels you are overpaid to the value you bring. Minimum outcome ownership, primarily execution checklist driven, so you can't go really wrong here. Large scale of ops

Cons

A small scale re-purposing of East India Company culture having Korean C-levels, VPs and next level Indian leadership as Zamindars & Khan Bahadurs. Leadership is not very industry celebrated and in general lacks spine and vision, with rare exceptions, and indulged into zamindari feuds on work, team and credit grab. Exceptionally few relate to the place, trust leaders, company or other teams, and vice versa. Employee audits by multiple teams are a constant and the most indulging part. Actually, this is a reasonable step by Koreans given the compromised work ethics observed over time. Well HR can be better titled as Harassment Resources than human... Succinctly, to be on blacklists for any decent MNC and big Indian Corporates and can be easily replaced by standard chatbots for efficient ops and lesser demotivation to junta. They have won awards for getting folks to Office during Covid in May and maximizing attendance. In fact sister concern Cheil was bashed up on Social as employees lost life, although it was managed meticulously. Search on and speak to inside folks.

Pros

Great products. Everyone gets to travel at least once per year.

Cons

Low pay compared to top US electronics companies. Strong culture of favoritism — managers rarely promote on merit and frequently move the goalposts for employees outside their inner circle. Colleagues and managers regularly take credit for others' work. I personally witnessed and experienced what I believe to be gender and race-based inequities in how employees are treated and evaluated. HR was unresponsive when issues were raised.
