Pros

Panasonic Avionics is a reputable company, with that include 401K contributions, good medical benefits. The major product is equipment and software for inflight entertainment. The work environment is extremely fast paced and challenging. Most people work on multple projects/programs that have delivery times linked to penalities for late delivery

Cons

Some of the downsides include insuficient people and equipment resources, which cause erratic project management and frustations, including a "put-out-the-fire" mentality. What project has the most visibility will get the most resources, leaving lower priority projects dangling until that projects priority changes.

Pros

employment? some flexibility for work schedules at the office I was at during the slow times

Cons

japanese management, who seem to lack the necessary skills for clear, open communications, motivation and feedback for US employees - the old japanese business management style of "you have a job, be happy you have that" doesn't always work well here (wait, this sometimes applies to american companies also) the communication issues are also a significant problem when having to work with or retrieve information from folks in japan contrary to what they always say, creative and independent thinking are not encouraged however, you are forced to often be creative when you are not allowed to purchase the necessary equipment to get your job done IT infrastructure and practices are poorly managed, unreliable and dated; what can you say about a global company that has their employees take quarterly "information security tests" so that they hopefully remember to not lose their laptops or disclose confidential information?

Pros

Sad place to work at Lose the upper management team and you may have something

Cons

Management ineptitude. Lack of Morale, no insperation in working there. If any insperation it's from the individual workers themselves
