Business Outlook

Pros

Company has (virtually) unlimited days of sick time. Time-off policies are geared towards supporting employee health and family. The company is stable given that it operates in a very niche market of In-Flight Entertainment. Personal growth is limited.

Cons

Bonus is a joke at this company. Most experienced people gets few thousand dollars compared to many other companies paying $20K to 35K bonus. 401K benefit is also poor. Maximum you get 4% employer match compared to other employers matching 8% to 12%. The upper management is almost born in this company so they don't have much real world of management experience. You are expected to work your head down and don't ask any questions to the manager. Personal growth is almost nil.

Very dysfunctional company!!

Pros

Very interesting industry to work in.

Cons

Too much gossip and back stabbing in the company. Panasonic always seems to be playing "catch-up" with their technology instead of leading the way. They will work you as much as they can and never say thanks. They expect you to work at home after work having conference calls with customers starting at late night hours.

A nightmare place! Don't work here unless you are desperate

Business Outlook

Pros

Some very talented, hard working engineers many airline customers Brand name recognition

Cons

Very incompetent management. This place is highly characterized by BIG favortism. the reason that some directors or managers hold their positions is that they are good freinds of VPs. It has been a well known fact that some management don't do their jobs at all. Some teams have very low moral, high turn over rates., and keeps looking for new hires to fill in the vacancies by people who quit. Then Why keep those dead weeds who sit there doing nothing, but collecting big, fat pay checks? As said, they are friends of some higher-up VPs.
