Pros

Sony Computer Entertainment America has a very fun job culture. The people that I have had a chance to work with are very friendly. The best thing about my job is the camaraderie that I have with the people I work with.

Cons

Big company, can be bureaucratic at times.

Pros

Sony is a company with a rich brand history and this makes for an interesting work environment. The video game industry is still in growth mode, which creates an environment where contributions can be made at all levels (of course, provided that management allows for such contributions to be made). Entertainment is a integral part of people's lives and working for a company that develops entertainment product puts one "front an center" in this part of lifestyles. Benefits are reasonably good at Sony and the fact that many video game companies, including Sony Computer Entertainment America, are closed over the Christmas holidays is a nice perk.

Cons

Room for advancement is limited, particularly in certain functional areas. Japanese run leads to some complications when trying to address US or European markets.

Pros

Friendliness, work-life balance and very collaborative cross-functional env. Very goal and project oriented group and employees shared responsibilities of supporting all critical systems and business user can always count on the IT group. Lots of fun activities and goodies and very often surrounded by enthusiastic new title or product releases excitements and thus promoted a very positive and thriving corporate culture of which enabled forwarding thinking and cutting edge and new product market direction strategic planning.

Cons

Career advancement and growth can be more defined within the core group. Overall company goals could be funneled down to individual department and contributor's goals for common achievements.
