Pros

Strong culture, very fun place to work at! People worked great together and they have an onsite gym!!!

Cons

Hiring process is tedious, often deters people from going through with it. You must be an absolute good fit or you won't get considered for perm status

Pros

Worked with one of the best managers (who I heard is no longer there) and learned SO much! Panda is all about innovation and I was fortunate to work under someone who felt the same; however, the major downside is that the demographic they cater to is not fond of innovation. So while our team had ideas there was little room to deviate from the "classics." Panda does try to do health/wellness initiatives and even have a solid gym in the office for you to work out in before or after work. They mean well and try to inspire employees to live "The Panda Way"--though this sometimes comes across as slightly coercive. When I was there the employees were family-oriented. I hope that's still the case.

Cons

-Somewhat dogmatic culture rather than organic -Overemphasis on Landmark as a qualifier/determinant for promotion -Heard it's hard to move up
