Sony's lost its touch

Pros

The pros include the benefits package and the discounts at Sony Style and the weekly social gatherings are cool too.

Cons

They've cut back on perks like employee screenings of movies the day they come out; bonuses and raises we're not merit based until this year; little to no room for growth and advancement; lack of appreciation and recognition of hardworking employees

Pros

Work life balance/salaries- the business is diversified well in entertainment.

Cons

Japanese companies are strict and are LOYAL. Some do not feel that there is upward mobility or incentive to aspire to be management. The staff was complacent. The culture there was rude, cut throat for I don't know whatever reason, there was A LOT of junk. I had to hear one manager BEHIND CLOSED DOORS whine about the staff elsewhere in the world. He was not professional enough to let subordinates do their own jobs.
