Panasonic Automotive reviews about "hour"

As a traditional Japanese company, promotions are basically based on seniority, with lateral promotions to the position of main manager in one's thirties or so. Later, in their 40s or so, they are promoted to section manager, and in their 50s or so, to department manager.

Toxic work culture where everyone is trying to get ahead of one another rather than collaboratively work. Too biased. Promotions and new opportunities are reserved for certain candidates, no matter how hard you work. Visibility is what matters and if your direct supervisor can't showcase the work to the senior management, its a long and tiring wait for a new role. Limited staff makes it disorganized, Long hours can make it hectic.

Extremely disorganized Too many middle management layers, many of which are incompetent or redundant Very siloed groups, making it almost impossible to collaborate, share knowledge or ask for help Fairly toxic company culture with groups functioning as adversaries, mostly because of overwork and understaffing. The first impulse is to deflect any responsibility. Process is completely bureaucratic and ineffective, and actual questions about how to manage time or priority are deflected by appeals to work more hours, but ambiguously. Hence work life balance is completely dependent on how you navigate this dynamic. You will be massively taken advantage of if you’re too passive.

Work life balance requires individual attention to achieve

Some processes could be improved and decision making can be slow.

No end in sight to long hours for years. Lean staff levels and weak ERP system require long hours to meet reporting requirements.

Depending on a role, you may have to be ready for long work hours.

Unclear vision, favoritism and high value for Pretentious braggarts
