Pros

Lot is kept clean. Extra time off at holidays (depending upon that year's calendar). Some terrific people. Yes, there are screenings as long as you can figure out where to find the schedule on the Intranet and can made sense of the hurdles required to score tickets.

Cons

*Even at Director level, no authority to hire/fire, recommend raises or authorize expenditure for a post-it note. *"Green" buildings are poorly designed and somewhat ridiculous: horrible faucets, no privacy, unusable space in cubicles, etc. *Impossible to find basic info on Intranet. *IT outsourcing isn't working; contractors and new staff don't know the systems or businesses they're supporting. *No word to Sony employees about the customer hacking scandal until weeks after it had been reported in the press.

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
