Pros
They offer good pay and cover housing so you can save a lot. Plus, if you are an expat you pay lower taxes. You get privileges that other expats may not - access to certain leaders, events, passes on certain silly things required of locals.
Cons
Expats are often promised the ability to work for a global company but the environment in Korea is, well, Korean. It requires that the expat adapt a lot to the local culture and environment and though during interviews and sell dinners you are promised faster advancement or the ability to shake things up b/c they need your diverse thought and opinion, the reality is, it's much easier for everyone if people adapt to the status quo, which is what happens.
