Panasonic reviews

...But make no mistake; long before COVID-19 wreaked havoc on the airlines industry, this company was already nosediving. Internal politics reign supreme while the real challenges facing this company are all ignored. Favoritism despite even clear lack of results or ability to get things done right is the modus operandi here at PAC. HR does not properly vet their talent. It’s really not uncommon to find people unfit for their roles and without any proper experience or let alone a college degree. How’s that for a pipeline! Procurement manages suppliers and parts but has no knowledge whatsoever about the supplier or parts. Finance will continue to slash the budget for key areas and key projects, but will continue to use that savings to fund their own failed pet projects and increase their teams. Our newly minted do-nothing Chief Culture Officer seems to have made the right friends. Changing conference room names will surely steer this company in the right direction! The Office of Ethics and Compliance really should be called the Office of just Appeasing the Monitors. Engineers that actually know what they are doing are now ignored and even dispensable in the name of constant political infighting from our leadership, which btw is now lead by someone who’s former experience is not engineering but quality assurance. Such a sad reality now.

Management - Exec, typical is 7 layers of mgmt above actual IC's. Compliance working conditions (lunch bench workspaces, minimal meeting spaces) you are lucky to work here mentality. Silos, even more silos. Extreme turnover with layoffs looming in the future, if not now according to their job posting for an HR expert in handling RIFs, though they probably misworded that posting according to HR. Typical response to questions from all hands (over the years) is "we are investigating that, and looking into that... for years they have been investigating and looking into that." nothing ever done. not even sure they changed the water filters in the fridge. break rooms and accomodations are a joke. typical wait times for bio breaks are bad as there are only 4 toilets per building and hundreds of employees. not uncommon to leave the campus to use a bathroom at a fast food place in lake forest. No WFH policy and actually pretty against it.
