Big Name, Terrible Business - Anonymous employee Panasonic Employee Review

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.
