Pros

- Everyone, I mean everyone, is very nice and helpful, and there is no clear drama between any of the employees - Healthy competition (if there's even any) among the employees - The company gives benefits that seem to care for their employee's wellbeing, including limiting overtime hours and preventing non-paid overtimes

Cons

- As a subsidiary, all decisions must be greenlit from the HQ (S.Korea), and it takes some time as well as a lot of decisions regarding certain issues which are ultimatum, even if it's not feasible without sacrificing other operations in the subsidiary that they do not concern of - The pay is very poor, and I often find myself working paycheck to paycheck when there are no overtimes - There does not seem to be any more opportunities to improve their employee's career. Promotion is basically 'guaranteed' but only after a pre-determined amount of years equal for everyone (regardless of their performance). There is basically no benefit of performing very well.

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.
