Pros

Work pressure is manageable for me

Cons

Very strict on timings so getting a min late will get you a lecture from your boss and if you are 5 min late then verbal or written warning for you. Official work timings are 8:00AM to 6:00PM, Leaving at 6 is considered bad behavior even if you don't have work to do. Once you spend few weeks in the company you will realize that you are second grade employee and all senior manager positions & employee benefits are for Korean employees only. So don't dream about becoming a senior manager or a Director. It is a military style working environment, so whatever your manager says you just follow and execute without reasoning or questioning. 95% of senior managers do not have local experience or domain expertise so they make decisions that you have to follow and execute. You will also find difficulty communicating with Korean employees as they understand and speak with difficulty. Company is extremely cost conscious so everything you use will be of the lowest quality.

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.
