Pros

Medical Benefits are good along with good number of holiday's and decent 401k matching policy

Cons

This use to be a great place to work but back in 2017-2018 they replaced almost every C level exec and VP with new people from various industries completely unrelated to inflight entertainment. As such this new team of management has no idea how to run this company. The loyalty that Panasonic use to have to the employee is now gone and people (many of whom are the most experienced with over 10 years or more) are getting laid off and replaced with cheaper inexperienced young people. Moral is at an all time low, and many people are leaving to go work at the competition.

Pros

Great think tank on the working level of Engineers. The working teams are very dedicated and work very hard in delivering a good product to the airlines. They are proactive and always looking for solutions to issues and supporting the teams.

Cons

There are a lot of Cons: Very Stressful work environment for many reasons altogether, - Very poor management structure with Little to No accountability on various groups. - Timelines always move to the right and the Engineering/other teams in the end of the process end up picking up the slack for all other departments. Middle management is full of idiots! The real talent is on the working level "the people who actually do some work" ! There are a lots of positions opened for new managers in the "New Engineering Re-org" but seems like Direct TV is the only company we are interested in hiring. I say why do the un-necessary drama of opening up positions to the public when you are keen on hiring friends and family from outside. Its a shame that we used to be such a great company with good strong values but it all seems to go down the drain. No career path for senior Engineers once you max out on an MTS IV or MTS V levels. No grooming for Senior roles/Manager positions in the company. Highly Underpaid - not match even the market values..

Pros

Benefits are decent and work life balance is pretty good. There are a few good people who currently work here.

Cons

Want a promotion? Get ready to start sucking up! Haven't got an ounce of ambition and are completely content with being a middle manager forever, riding that measly merit increase every year? This is the place for you! This company has more mid level yes men/women than any other company in the history of companies. Meetings to discuss meetings and more meetings. Let take notes in those meeting and then meet up again to discuss those notes. Foolishness. Predominantly staffed by undervalued and underpaid talent doing 90% of the work while everyone else takes notes and circulates meaningless status reports. Promotions are given to the those who are part of the problem. Save yourself the time and don't even consider working here.
