Pros

Sony has been a good company to work for. The benefits are equal if not better thatn most companies and have good 401K and health insurance

Cons

Company is at a point that due to the industry of DVD/CD manufacturing, it has had to make cut- backs. It looks not at experience to so the cuts but some are being cut long years of service. In this way the company saves money.

Pros

You are treated very fairly as an employee. Benefits are very good. Work conditions are good. Product quality overall is good.

Cons

Used to be a market leader and develop new Technolog and create new markets, but now have degraded into a me-too company that copies others technologies and ideas. Heavy on admin and top level execs contributing little of substance or value. Mostly coasting on past glory.
