Company is Fine but Disappointing Management

Pros

Colleagues at my level are nice, helpful and treat one another with respects. Get to learn quite a bit about the products that LGE manufactures which will be helpful for your future when you see opportunities in other companies of the same or similar industry. There are free courses from the HQ that might be helpful to increase your knowledge and exposure.

Cons

Certain mid-level managers to director level people are just not leaders. They have no management quality and skills enough to lead their teams. Some are often venting their frustration and anger on their subordinates when they are the ones at fault for not organizing the work well for the teams. This is a top down problem which LG has to resolve soon before it's too late. Working sooo late and even burning your weekends doesn't mean the company can benefit more and make greater profit. This is efficiency. They should come out with more effective methods to improve efficiency in their work flow. Their business should build on what they are strong in rather than wasting time, resources and money on some products that they cannot compete well in the market. Their directors and senior management should not use what the situation in Korea as a benchmark for other countries. Yes LG is a Korean company but if it is to operate and sell to global markets, it should change to localize in each market overseas. Stop the mindset of working late means hardworking. This is nonsense. Forcing yourself to stay awake when you are exhausted is not going to make you hardworking but simply making yourself stupid. People should be treated with respects, regardless of nationality, position and gender.

Pros

LG has great benefits and pays really well. In general the work life balance is whatever you want it to be.

Cons

Working for a Korean corporation is soul crushing. Korea is decades behind western design and silicon valley development practices and talent. Their top down seniority and male driven culture is possibly their biggest blocker.

Pros

Great opportunity for growth if you get in the right department.

Cons

The top executives rotate in from Korea every 3 to 4 years, so there is never long term goals for the company. They are only interested in their own success. Sometimes important meeting will start out in English and then convert the Korean. Very unproductive for non-Korean speaking employees. At one time they said they were going to conduct all meeting in english but they never followed though.
