Sony Pictures Entertainment reviews

Traditional hierarchical 20th century corporate structure that can be inflexible if you're career is rooted in dynamic or disrupted industries. Executive culture rewards poor decision makers and trickles down political maneuvering to middle management, impacting performance at multiple levels. Difficult to impossible to achieve promotions, thus de-incentivizing the employee review process over time. Lack of incentives for cross-departmental collaboration, thus stymying other avenues for professional growth and advancement.

This studio runs on fear. HR has a habit of doing nothing with employee complaints and they would rather just pay people off to quit. Nevertheless, there are several departments with toxic management meanwhile the assistants work their butts off and get things done only to be scolded 24/7. There's no work life balance, and there's never accountability for upper management even though they are the cause to the unhappiness in the company. Oh, and expect your overtime to be cut since there's so many politics here. Execs know you're busting in hours, but will stay silent to make sure their department doesn't get into any trouble. It's a trickle down effect where amateur, in denial directors and VPs are scared to stand up to the unprofessional and childish heads of their department, yet they eventually become as unhappy and toxic. You feel so drained at the end of the day, where making movies or shows is far from your passion anymore. The true definition of unhealthiness and delusion.
