Pros

+ You get to work in the film industry + Other people out there still think that Sony Pictures is a good company to work for

Cons

+ Nepotism: Managers tend to promote their buddies + Incompetent management. You can end up reporting to five superiors, which in total have less years of experience in the film industry than you, less academic credentials and less skills. However, as long as you've got a big mouth and lots of arrogance you can go far at Sony Pictures. + Too many chiefs, too few indians + Hire & fire mentality: I saw people hired for a new job role and fired after a couple of months because management found that the organization should be restructured again (this happens rather often), making the just created role obsolete

Pros

Great opportunities to develop as a professional within your field. The culture is supportive and the mood laid back. Everyone is friendly and respectful of one another and whilst soft benefits such as premier tickets and after work activities have diminished due to belt tightening, when there is a social event its very well organised.

Cons

Senior management is overly represented for the value they bring to the company. For instance its not unknown to have a VP with no one underneath them. Secondly, there is US centric view of how business should be operated, which discounts the local conditions in other territory markets. The cookie cutter approach doesn't always work and as such it can give rise to perceived arrogance when you get a delegation of people from LA telling you how to run the business or do your job.
