Unorganized and irrational decision making of the management.

Pros

I think advantage of working in LGE is work and life balance. Surely it is not good. but it is better than other Korean Company.

Cons

Non professional.
Complicated communication channels.
I think LG Electronics doesn't have effective performance evaluation tool. So some people who works well disappointed about company's policy

Advice to Senior Management

I think LGE have to make a good tool for performance evaluation. many professional engineers feel they cannot get profit sharing about their archievments.

Pros

Great people, great co-worker, good company culture.

Cons

Long Long hours, not so competitive pay...

Advice to Senior Management

Thank you for a great learning experience

Pros

diverse portfolio of consumer electronics products and consumer marketing and communication, definitely not enterprise-centric company despite its poor claim as a Business-to-Business solution provider.

Cons

limited growth oppty - current company leadership not valuing external and global experiences although majority of revenue is from abroad. Lack the "stomach" for innovation and investment to grow existing opportunities.
