Pros

Decent, modern office spaces. Reasonable perks and a great name to have on the CV. Some brilliant and very driven people can be found in spots.

Cons

The Korean business culture dominates all. Decisions making happens at a high level by senior leaders without them consulting or asking for the opinions of their colleagues who are below them in the pyramid but understand challenges in far more detail. As all the senior leaders are Korean, local teams at each subsidiary have minimal control over anything. Working here makes you feel like a small cog in a large wheel to drive someone's promotion and pay rise in Seoul. This must also be one of the worst places to work as a woman. No female role models in senior grades at all and I heard outright sexist remarks by colleagues on several occassions.
