No career advancement. Do not expect any promotions or changes in the current status. The company only invests in development of Japanese employees and not the Americans.
The company is organized with silos of different work groups across the local sales company and across the globe. These silos do not work well together.
Issues brought to upper management regarding problems are frequently ignored or thrown back to the employees telling them its up to them to solve the problem even if these issues traverse across multiple groups in the company.
Working at Panasonic is a job, not a career.
