Panasonic reviews

In Japan (where I was stationed) the company has your back. Except for compensation, they will do pretty much everything to make sure you have your needs satisfied like housing, food, transportation etc. for VERY cheap. ~$100/mo. cheap for the company dorm. The dorms also have a cafeteria with full meals around $3. Security is of no matter. My dorm had a massive wash room with a hot tub the size of a swimming pool. The work itself was not incredibly difficult to begin contributing to it, and the senpai are ridiculously helpful. There's really no such thing as "don't waste my time with your questions" attitude. If you're looking to become fluent in Japanese, then working here will work as I can attest to (passed N1 by the end of it). You learn very crucial fundamentals about the whole spectrum of product development (for me it was electrical engineering), and the training upon entry allowed me to learn about every aspect of what Panasonic does. Factory training, retail store training, company manners are all part of the initial ~3 month period. While it was long and seemingly un-related to what I would be doing eventually, I will take all those skills with me forever into all my future jobs. Also, Panasonic is fantastic in that it is one of the only companies in Japan that pays employees for every minute of over time they work. Most of the time companies will call it "service-overtime" and not pay you.

Benefits are good, the Panasonic name is well known despite the dysfunction and looks good on a resume. A few good people.
