Pros

Slightly above average benefits designed to make up for lack of equity compensation. Beautiful new building and cafeteria. Obviously a well-known brand name to be associated with.

Cons

A very tops-down, non-collaborate organization. Except in isolated instances, there is zero teamwork. The U.S. team is not empowered to make key decisions -- those mainly come from Korea. The Finance organization is overly-powerful, getting involved in virtually all aspects of the business and often making decisions on issues with which they have no expertise. "Dispatchers" are an interesting bunch... If you interview, be sure to ask about them. Also, the company loves to have its people file "reports" that no one reads and have no value other than to waste time. There is no incentive or interest in developing good managers and promoting good management practices. Effective management is not valued. If you want to work for a Silicon Valley company, this is NOT the place to be.
