      I have been working at Panasonic Avionics Corporation full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      One of the best company to start your career as long as the low level managers follow Panasonic Basic Business Principles and not their personal understanding on how to run the shop.

      Cons

      Lately, non-exempt repair shop employee are expected to work holidays when it fall on your modified 4-10 schedule. Also on company perks activity, non-exempt must use personal time off to be able to join even for HR sanctioned activities.

      Advice to Management

      Do not bait and switch, at the beginning and with meetings of the 4-10 schedule. Holidays are paid 8 hours and need to make up for 2 hour lost. Now, we need to work the whole day if it falls on your day of work. You will need to ask for permission if you are not going to work on your holidays. Low level management need to realign business decisions with Panasonic BBP and not to their self glorifying plans and decisions. Do not implement changes that are waste on resources like re-arrange layout, change uniforms, work condition all without positive tangible effect.

      Pros

      The benefits are great and its a great company to work for.

      Cons

      Some management can turn their back on you when you need support. They will help you when you ask for it then throw you under a bus later.

      Advice to Management

      Be an example to your employees and don't have favorites. Treat everyone the same.

      Pros

      They don't really care about anything here, so you have full autonomy. I guess that is a plus.

      Cons

      Lets talk about the sea of mediocrity that exists in this place. If you are looking to fail your way towards the middle, this is a great place for you. If you are looking to be apart of something innovative, I would run in the opposite direction. These people are stuck in the past. Have fun having old system engineers as managers on web programs. These people have no idea what they are doing.

      Advice to Management

      Purge! Purge like your life depended on it. There are so many fat, lazy, content human beings at this place. You can fire 1500 (that is right!) people and still be fine. You can run leaner teams and pass on the savings to actually caring about the employees you don't fire.

      I feel really bad for people who have been here for too long. If you stay here for more than 2 years, it will hurt your career. Don't fall behind in life.

      Pros

      Benefits are decent and work life balance is pretty good. There are a few good people who currently work here.

      Cons

      Want a promotion? Get ready to start sucking up! Haven't got an ounce of ambition and are completely content with being a middle manager forever, riding that measly merit increase every year? This is the place for you! This company has more mid level yes men/women than any other company in the history of companies. Meetings to discuss meetings and more meetings. Let take notes in those meeting and then meet up again to discuss those notes. Foolishness. Predominantly staffed by undervalued and underpaid talent doing 90% of the work while everyone else takes notes and circulates meaningless status reports. Promotions are given to the those who are part of the problem. Save yourself the time and don't even consider working here.

      Advice to Management

      This company needs a proper cleansing. You're too slow for your own good and your policies are holding you back. Reconsider your idiotic policy on not hiring developers without a CS degree. News flash, most developers these days are going directly into the work force and running circles around your "software engineers". Promote talent, not the guy/girl who's friends with so and so or agrees with everything a senior director says.
