Pros

People get promoted here very quickly. There are many perks like onsite dental, free gym, electronics discounts, free employee movie screenings. People are generally very nice. Competitive health benefits and average 401k match.

Cons

They move at a snail's pace. Projects are extended and you need lots of signatures to get going on anything. Lots of stakeholders with no sense of urgency and they love to delay everything for no good business reason. Processes are not documented or got lost in the hack and never replaced. Extremely siloed environments and no chance to work on cross-functional teams. People still have desktops here! The employee handbook says "flexible work schedule and work from home" but it is not practiced. Companies have been allowing work from home and flexible hours for a decade and Sony is just behind the times. Welcome to the dark ages....

Pros

- began work with an amazing team and culture - exposure to major IP and high-profile campaigns - some genuinely talented and passionate colleagues - fast-paced environment that builds skills quickly - healthcare is decent - some fun on-lot perks

Cons

- poor work/life balance exceptions from SPTV lower and upper management - unmanageable workload left little room for the collaboration and meeting engagement leadership expected - upper management changes resulted in reactive restructuring with little regard for team culture or continuity - inconsistent management: some leaders failed to empower or advocate for their teams - clear office politics which interfere with business decisions - quick burnout when management fails to course-correct workload - leadership set workloads based on personal work style rather than sustainable team norms - little to no growth opportunities - 4 days in office is excessive and unnecessary
