      Pros

      Seems like this industry should be growing soon. This was a good place to work, if you are willing to put in the overtime.

      Cons

      Inconsistent goals and leadership can be confusing sometimes. Also, the hours can be a lot, but it is a nice place to work.

      Pros

      LG Chemicals is one of the largest petrochemicals, batteries, and electronic materials producer in Korea. Because Samsung, or other big Korean conglomerates had only entered this business recently, it has had a relative advantage until Cheil (of Samsung) suddenly burst into growth after supplying materials for Samsung cell phones. The work-life balance is pretty good, and company tends to guarantee long-time employment.

      Cons

      Salary is low, and increase rate especially low. (Not engineers) This is typical of many subsidiaries of LG, but will doing this attract talent in the future? Also, besides the new BUs - batteries and e.materials - the petrochemicals BU is very old, in sense that they had a 10-yr gap of NOT recruiting new employees. The culture is stagnant and very conversative; no wonder the other LG folks call the employees here "LG Civil Servants".

      Pros

      Good work and life balance. Something that a Korean company rarely provides

      Cons

      Low payment. Comparing to other Korean companies, the compensation is lower than the expected level.
