Pros

- Your peers. You're all in the same boat and share the same experiences. - Meet people and make friends from all over the world, PAC is a global company. - Work/life balance, for my group at least. - Engineering focused, at least it was in the beginning. - Company is top dog in the industry - you get to experience the full spectrum of customers and products in the IFE business.

Cons

- Power tripping managers, employees know who they are. My condolences if you work for one. - Lack of direction from managers - Based on the above point, inexperienced managers. My observation during my time here was that the inept were promoted/hired to be managers because: a. They wouldn't be a threat to their superior's position. and/or b. They were friends with upper management. - Company is top dog in the industry - Complacency, lack of innovation, resort to copying other lesser competitor's products. Fault lies with deficient marketing team. - Engineering silos (although this seems common at most corporations, it seemed particularly bad here)

Pros

Overall really positive experiencing working here. Good benefits and lots of flexibility with work.

Cons

Not a lot of development opportunities. Career ladders are not defined and even though the company encourages career development opportunities, there's no transparency around it.

Pros

Good benefits, Health and Dental, Vision, up to 4% 401k match

Cons

New management has no idea how business supposed to be managed. They are pulling management folks from Intel and Amazon. Taking new development to Oregon where their homes are. Also, sent most of the work to India to show the profitability. The company doesn't have traditional Japanese culture any more under current management as everyone is trying to fill their pockets and looking for their benefits.
