Pros

You work at a movie studio. Discounts on Sony products and its in Culver City. Screenings each week.

Cons

No raises in the 5 years I worked there, even though new and bigger responsibilities were given to me. Dept management were completely inexperienced in the dept itself and in managing all together and managed based on metrics as opposed to listening to employers feedback or knowing what they were actually doing. Blame would be placed in employees for managements mistakes. You can do 100 things right but one small thing done wrong and you are no longer looked at positively yet the same senior managers that cause the problems keep getting promoted. Growth is non-existent unless you are in managements inner circle, if your not then expect to go nowhere. Layoffs and "reorganizations" occur yearly due to Sony executives greenlighting poor performing movies year after year.

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
