Pros

Benefits, new building, close to public transportation

Cons

Where do I start? Hard work and dedication mean nothing to this company. The great company started by Knosuke Matsushita has long been ignored. IF he took an active leadership role in the American side of the business like he did in Japan many of he problems would not manifest themselves. Cronyism plays THE dominant role here. IF you are "liked" then you will be rewarded. Raises for the rank and file are minimal. The annual review is used as an excuse to weed out he long time employees who are being "pushed" out the door after years of dedicated service. The atmosphere is Orwellian in nature. You are always being watched, and you can not do anything of a personal nature. Speak in hushed tones and never say anything outside of your job. The environment is sick at best. Use this experience as a stepping stone to other employment elsewhere.

Big Name, Terrible Business

Pros

You get the Panasonic name on your resume, that's about it.

Cons

Departments don't work together, everyone is siloed. All department managers hate the other department for some reason or another. It's all a political game to prove why your department is better than the other. Product development is severely lacking. Hardware products aren't forward thinking, it's stuck in the past. Sticking an iPad on the back of a seat would work better than what we have today. Software products are half-baked and thrown away before completion. No product architect to direct future growth. Airline customers get the short end of the stick with our terrible software quality. Can't deliver anything on time. QA tests are very high level and aren't very thorough. It's who you know that gets you to the top of the food chain or it's how long you've been at the company. Either way, people get promoted for the wrong reasons. Old timers are stuck in the past and won't change for future growth. Going through lawsuit so there's no stability. Cleaning house constantly and re-organizing. They are playing 3 card monte with the employees by shoving new people as department heads and hoping no one notices that nothing has changed. Low pay compared to industry standards, can't attract good people. New people aren't trained, it's trial by fire. Most don't survive and burn out very quickly. Management doesn't see the value of hard workers and puts you down for the sake of putting you down. They get off on power tripping.

Pros

Stable,sorta pays well. I got nothing.

Cons

Lots Responsibility with little power to change problems. People push off responsibility till required to do it. Same said people know little of what they should, causing you to have to do their job for them.
