Pros
LG Chem is a global leader in lithium ion battery technology. The benefits are pretty good. Very diverse. The company hires a disproportionate amount minorities and females (compared to the demographic makeup of the company's location).
Cons
The company is micro-managed from across the world. If you work at a U.S. branch of the company you will be treated as a second-class employee. If you are female, you will be treated as a second-class employee. The American management is good, however, the American management only has so much power. Lower-level factory worker hires even need to be approved by HQ in Korea. It is difficult to get things done or improve the product/production when every detail is micromanaged from across the world.
