Pros

Great genuine people to work with.

Cons

Many people at Sony have worked here for a very long time; years and years; that they are comfortable and not so compelled to push the envelope and try new things.

Pros

You learn a lot, nice colleagues & excellent benefits. The hours are also decent depending on the department you work in.

Cons

If you're a go getter, this place is not for you. No professional growth at all. Most people have been here for decades mostly doing the same tasks day in and day out. No employee career development plans in place and no flexibility.

Pretty good place

Pros

Big company with many interesting products and positions available; good benefits; decent advancement opportunities. Market leader in several major industries.

Cons

The silos are a real problem. The company does not function as a unit. More like a group of fiefdoms, sometimes resulting in a mess. Lost market leadership in numerous industries. Also, Tokyo has a lot of control since they usually pay the budget. Local people feel they are not really valued.
