The company has lost it's way

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of challenging problems to solve. Benefits are really good.

Cons

Upper management has completely lost its way. Re-org about every 6 months for the past 3 years. Management lacks vision and an adequate product roadmap to keep the company successful in the long run. The grunts have to constantly work long stressful hours to make up for the over commitments to the customers.

Sr. Management for the past 3 years were very weak.

Business Outlook

Pros

Panasonic has great product, and many of the employee contribute 100% because they feels ownership. The Panasonic North America is a growing business.

Cons

I do not recommend working for them now because for the past 2-3 years the company work ethic is very low - the Sr. Management hired withing the past 3 years were doing a poor job to keep talented people in the company. hopefully the new CEO that was hired from Boeing will put the company back to where it was 2-3 years ago.

Weak/Corrupt past leadership has left the company to rot.

Business Outlook

Pros

Health and dental benefits are decent.

Cons

Company is suffering effects of bribing foreign government officials for many years. After past CEO Margis got fired for corruption the company has to now make money the real way which it is not set up to do. Money has been the past solution to all the problems, but not anymore as there's no more bribing and the company is hurting due to covid. The company does not have processes in place to get anything delivered on time. I would not join this company during this time when aviation is decimated due to covid.
