Pros

The benefits; the pay, looks good on resume. The pay is good because they overload you with work.

Cons

1- Strategic decision making is all done by the Korea head office HQ; HQ makes impulsive decision making and orders the small local offices around to execute things. Local managers have no power or any role in the strategic decision making. 2- No work life balance at all because of the work load; this will not work for you if you have a family. 3- excessive and time-consuming reporting required to management. Inefficient daily work flow. Careless about process improvement. Impulsive decision making that lacks proper planning. 4- big communication gap between the Korean management and other employees. Other-ethnic employees cannot grow professionally in this company because higher level positions are taken by Koreans from home country.

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.
