Pros

Good work (Usual Disclaimer: Depends on the project) Greater impact (Think of your code being used by millions of people in the world) Good Salary and Good perks when compared with other(s) competitors Easy and faster growth on technical roles if you are competent

Cons

No superstars to look up to or inspire.(Can be pros as well you can be one easily after convincing the HQ ;-) ) Thinking HQ (Korea) as customers and not as peers attitude(mainly because of old timers). Not a place for people to stay longer who aspire to be Hacker but a good place to start with.

Pros

Health benefit is good. Good bonus. Mostly not busy.

Cons

The culture is rotten from the root. From HQ, the very heirarchical culture gives little respect and room of freedom to lower level engineers. Being a remote office in San Jose, we did not get to experience the worst. But the local management here is super impowered over those ruled engineers. Power plays. Opaque.. Favoritism. Politics. Zero trust top down. It is very difficult to feel proud and willing to contribute when knowing that as an employee you are not really treated as part of the company. The best way to get company or organizational update is via Internet or grapevine. Several almost got their pays doubled over several years, while most hardly moved an inch. A few are very happy, most however are exploited. The company force installs spyware on employees computers. employees are not the esset of the company. There is some fundamental philosophical problems with the company and the local management.
