Pros

World-wide operations, Big opportunities in engaging in or working in emerging economies such as India (No. 1 market share for white goods). Committed to socially responsible business operations especially product liability and environmental standards. The company has been positively ranked by Carbon disclosure project and many other third party evaluations. I probably got lucky but my mentor was very open minded and as a junior i could take full responsibility of a project with his supervision. Lots of opportunities to develop your career if you are an entry level person, especially career development opportunities as they invest quite a lot to young professionals to be trained.

Cons

The company culture doesn't allow you (or the company) become number one innovator in the market. Management makes safe investments and second frontier arrangements only when the market is proven to be working and profitable. Breakthroughs are their slogan but maybe this message wasn't well translated into company culture. Employees may not have so much decision making power and communication between management and working level is also challenging as typical korean corporate culture.

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.
