The leadership at LG is nonexistent. Our division has no priorities, so the product manager who screams the loudest gets priority. The appallingly-bad HQ toolset for Email, Calendar and Meetings is only outdone by the crippling upload restrictions from the out-of-control, unaccountable Info Security
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
I have a great role doing the work of 3.5 people with a great boss and teammates. But I work for a company run by idiots who do not care anything about the employees' ability to be productive. The paranoia and unchecked power of the rampaging Info Security team is destroying this company.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Zero employee contributions required for medical.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Merit Bonus is excellent when we do well.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Coworkers realize how stupid LG is about the unchecked Info Security and Legal departments nearly destroying our company.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Most people understand that although HQ IT systems, policies and tools regularly cripple employee productivity, they will continue to try in spite of this.
What are some of the best things about your team?
My immediate coworkers do everything they can to make LG succeed in spite of LG's shockingly complex financial systems and cripplingly restrictive IT policies, systems and tools.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
1. Leading. 2. Providing Priorities. 3. Listening to local US employees and following our recommendations. 4. Telling HQ when its IT policies and systems are destroying our business. 5. Alllowing US teams to pick IT systems locally.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Stop giving crap tools to the employees (e.g., garbage homemade Email, worse homemade "Calendar" and unbelievably restrictive upload policies that destroy productivity. It's like the executive team and Info Security team both work for Samsung and are trying to destroy our productivity every day.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The ridiculous homemade HQ "Email," "Calendar," Webex instance and the outdated MS Office version are a complete shitshow. Both LG's customers and our competitors REGULARLY laugh at us when they hear how we can't perform basic work tasks. Convert everyone to MS Office 365 Online and Zoom immediately
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
1. Fire the entire Info Security team and outsource it. 2. Fire any executives who support the homemade Email/"Calendar" and switch to Outlook365 via browser immediately. 3. Change PC leases from 5 years to 3. 4. Hire 70% more Lawyers to help review the ridiculous substantiation they want to require
