Panasonic reviews

I think what turned me off was that initially getting hired on, it seemed so exciting but as soon as I got my desk and started to talk to people, the overall morale was beyond LOW. No one seemed to appreciate the place/work. That was the bummer. Some reasons seemed to pop up consistently as shown below: Disarray of upper management and overall structure. This leads to things just not getting done or just not done right. Really mechanically rooted there. As a person with chemical engineer/mining background, there didn't seem to be an understanding from a process side or a willingness to understand it. High turnover. Not enough subject matter experts. Scope creep on your job comes about, which isn't a big deal usually but doing a lot of maintenance work got old really quick.

The company is based in California. There are laws and rules to follow and therefore abundance of internal process and procedures. Engineers are spending time on following the new process and procedures rather then innovating. On any approval process, it is extensive and thorough. Bottoming is important. The time is spent on justification and cost reduction rather than moving fast to market.
