Pros

Nice culture, strong feeling of family. Lots of creative, talented people who are fun to collaborate with. Most full-time people get to participate in the annual bonus plan, which is unusual.

Cons

SPE is a bit of a rudderless ship these days. The CEO has been here too long and should be replaced but Sony Corp in Japan refuses to cut him loose for some reason. The company has had a few years of poor performance and were we a publicly traded company, the CEO would never have been allowed to continue. Based on what we saw in the aftermath of the hack, he doesn't really want to be here anyway.

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
