Pros

- If you live in or want to live in San Diego, there are many opportunities to bounce from one position to another to keep the benefits of staying with the same company (increasing vacation time and 401k vesting, increased knowledge of inner workings of company to be more productive) while gaining new experiences and skills.

Cons

- Although flexible work arrangements are promoted and used by some, most new positions are located in San Diego, which is not so great if you don't live in San Diego and want to move around and up within the company.

Pros

Great access to cutting edge technology Access to high level executives Pretty decent pay Good deals on new products (to buy and borrow) Fun projects, great experience

Cons

Performance reviews are a joke, they don't mean anything to your advancement Poor career tracks, don't feel like I'm going anywhere Need to make things happen yourself Poor management with respect to guidance, advice, assistance, etc.

Pros

Sony releases interesting technology and products making it a cool place to work. Depending on the job/department there can be a reasonable work/life balance.

Cons

Engineering skills vary greatly between departments. A lot of politics abound, including working with Japan colleagues. Some departments are tough to maintain a good work/life balance. Tough to sell premium products in a down economy.
