Pros

Good benefits (Health Insurance, PTO), decent pay Opportunity to do exciting work and partner with smart and passionate people Global brand recognition and large scale projects If you have a good manager, good flexibility and team sub-culture

Cons

If given the chance, this place will overrun your life HQ drives huge inefficiencies/unnecessary work, restrictive/slow HQ culture blocks many great ideas from moving forward Korean hierarchy above all - what HQ says goes - regardless of impact of those decisions US leadership is powerless, which also means your department head has very little to do with your job security and/or career advancement This is a decent enough short-term career opportunity. Get the experience and move on. Most of the people you meet will be gone in two years or less. If you have another offer, go there instead.

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.
