Pros

The pay was above or at market rate.

Cons

The management doesn't listen to employee concerns, they lie about just about everything to the employees. The place was switched to an open office environment despite employee feedback saying it was not wanted. Anyone with any sense or a brain has long since left you'll generally be the smartest person in the room and it won't be a good feeling. Products are sold which aren't even finished or have been created yet quite often putting engineers in a very awkward position.

Pros

Besides the location in Lake Forest, Ca there's absolutely nothing else that worth mentioning.

Cons

Panasonic Avionics is under massive investigation for fraud, bribery, falsifying facts and the department of Justice rightfully is on mission to teach them a lesson on ethics to bring them down. It wasn’t a surprise to anyone that they got away with so much corruption for years. Since 2017, the entire senior management corrupted team are fired and replaced with yet another incompetent corrupted team. Then re-org after re-org after re-org is not helping PAC to survive the mess they certainly created out of greed. The employee morale is extremely low and everyone that I know, especially key skilled individuals are leaving one after another. All the subject matter experts are gone or going to the competitors. The female managers are getting promoted unfortunately not based on their skills or experience, mostly to meet diversity. Panasonic is extremely buddy-buddy system and promotions are ONLY given to those who have a personal relationship with their upper management and suck up to management. All and all a very toxic environment with many unethical business practices and inept management. The HR is also very incompetent and an enabler to all the wrongdoings. I am also leaving to a great company in a few weeks.

Pros

- You'll have above/below average pay depending on which department you're in. So, make sure you're not settling. - You'll find some really cool people here just as I have, but don't trust everyone as a long of people have an agenda. - There is a lot of talent here, but they're not being used correctly. - It's easy to feel comfortable and end up staying for a long time. - Benefits are good though!

Cons

- Management plays favorites & doesn't use your full potential unless you are a suck up. Otherwise, you are seen as disposable. - It's really hard to grow here and the Talent Development team doesn't help with your career path and stay stuck in the same role for 5 years. I've consistently reached out to my management and HR for ways for career growth but I was always pushed to the side. - Salary ranges are questionable for the type of work that is done. It's also questionable how management decides the salary for certain criteria. - Leadership and its direction is constantly changing so it's hard for the company to be cohesive and have trust with their employees. - H R always directs you to someone else who also doesn't know how to help you and you get stuck in an uneducated loop until you decide to pull in their manager. - It's really hard to feel important at this company especially with leadership that has no idea what you do on a day-to-day basis.
