The building is newer, and there's a Costco within a couple miles.

Everything comes down to having a set of good managers

Senior business development manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Massive company with tons of opportunities in everything from electronics to game development to movies and music. Over all I think people are very happy to work there and as in most companies it comes down to having a good manager. I have been fortunate to have some of the best managers in my career at Sony

Cons

I was unfortunate to end up in a dead end of the company with all my managers located in either Sweden or Japan. I had the feeling that the reason for why myself and the rest of my team of 4 people where there just so my managers could say that our bigger team had an office in Silicon Valley. This bad time lasted for about 5 years before I decided to leave the company. I should also point out that before this bad time I have been fortunate to have have some of the best managers in my career and then had a great time at the company.

No growth, low pay, long hours

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

San Diego weather. Trying to work on employee development opportunities.

Cons

No upwards growth, only limited lateral moves. Layoffs every end of fiscal year, which makes it very stressful and uncertain every year. No pay raises (1-2% average). Additional workload and reduced workforce. Silo environments. Meetings for the meetings for the upcoming meetings. CYA is a staple of the day to day. Aging company.
