Sony reviews

very impersonal, definite class system in operation

Very low pay and very slow promotion. Pay is far below industry average, that's why people kept leaving but the company don't care, they think they have plenty to hire from labor market due to the good company brand. Almost needs at least 3 years to be promoted in every level, from general staff to supervisor, than to assistant manager, than to manager, than to senior manager. So even if you are super excellent, it takes you around 10 years to be a manager, which will kill your motivation. The job quality is not so high, creativity is not encouraged therefore people do the same works every year just to ensure there's no risk. Efficiency is not encouraged either, so people need to do a lot of repeated work and attend so many meetings. The workload is high but actually there're many tasks that are not contributive at all.
