Senior management is adapting Trial and Error method with a lot of guesses than facts, study or taking advise, playing around with employes careers moving them around like chess pieces hoping it will work better, don't really care what you want, experience or where you would be a good fit.
Not really looking for real business case, good read on market demand or customer requirement but rather show higher level managers that they are doing a lot of effort and unfortunately same behavior starts to trickle down.
So promotions are reserved to whoever cheer for every word senior management say, but hard working knowledgable engineers stay at the bottom unknown till they decide to leave or get pushed out.
A lot of meetings, power points and excel sheet with no real progress.
And what make it worse is senior management seems to think that having good knowledgable engineers is an option rather than requirement.
Horrible marketing department, really really bad. When is the last time you heard an advertisement, article or new technology from Panasonic, trust me they do have a lot I worked there and I know but their marketing group are busy with other stuff than marketing god only knows what it is.
