Pros

Generally good people to be around (if you're lucky) but that is dampened by excessively poor and misguided leadership (see below).

Cons

Sadly, Sony is a worn out assembly line of poor ideas and industry breakthroughs that are too late to be even remotely relevant. And on top of this, the workhorses behind this assembly line are overworked, underpaid and bullied by toxic out of touch executives who are too busy clinging to relevance and lucrative contracts to care about the people beneath them. This kind of toxic cycle allows managers to constantly fail upwards.

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
