Pros

The television group is the only stable entity at Sony Pics (they make all the profit for the studio- not the movie side!) with any management to speak of.

Cons

Being owned by Sony is a huge drawback as the studio continues their annual layoffs in order to "make profit". Top management is completely unstable, and dirty politics are rife at Sony Pics.

Pros

Great people to work with, company really cares what you think based on employee survey, some leaders are very personable, diversity oriented, lots of little perks, leaders try to reward in little ways like free Sprinkles cupcakes during All Hands, celebrate with ice cream for Oscar nominations, happy hour Thursdays with low cost drinks.

Cons

HR is terrible as they are very litigious and only care about taking managers point of view rather than listening to employees' concerns. Leadership is far removed from knowledge of product, not as familiar with their own product as they should be, pay not enough for the long hours, likes to overload employees with work instead of hiring more people, middle management not experienced or trained to manage staff/very little management skills.

Pros

You can come and go as you please and you won't be micromanaged. You're hawking movies - it's not life or death and the culture reflects that.

Cons

Favoritism abounds at the expense of competence. There is no transparency in the promotion process. Pay is low and Analyst retention is nonexistent. People defect at the earliest opportunity.
