Pros

The division I worked for did a great job of selling and supporting the industries best rugged laptops and tablets. You were encouraged to learn and to truly support your customers. I worked with a lot of very good, smart people who worked extremely hard.

Cons

Panasonic software is bad for the most part. The software developed in Japan is really quite bad. Panasonic seems to have an expectation of hiring you with the intent of firing you. If you can last at least three years then you can finally relax somewhat. Their work/life balance is out of whack and they know it. However, the leadership keeps trying to increase sales and working more hours is the easiest way to accomplish this.

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

Remote work, manager was very patient and kind. Salary was decent for an internship. Very corporate and expectations are clear.

Cons

When doing remote work, management is very stringent about being online during working hours. I've gotten teams messages about me being offline while going to the bathroom. Doesn't happen all the time but definitely sometimes.
