Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. Which is achievable at any other company

Cons

Don't work there unless you are Korean, because other nationalities are dispensable and have no value. Big communication gap between HQ/Korean management and other English language speakers. Military style management. They pay good because they load you with work and overtime hours (this is the culture). No job security; they lay off people if they're just not meeting the expected "overestimated" sales forecast. Management does not openly communicate future plans........

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.
