Pros

Lots of agency given from the get go, working in some of the biggest sporting events in the world. Great for building confidence.

Cons

Sometimes it felt like I was giving it my all and it still wasn’t quite enough. Management make judgements on your capabilities based off of google chat conversations, leading to warped views of what both parties do. The salary is not competitive for what you’re expected to do, they will make you believe that you’re earning as much as they can pay you whilst they’re signing multi million pound contracts. Equipment maintenance is poor, i cant think of a football season where the company hasn’t experienced equipment breaking with lack of replacements leading to delivery of a poor quality product.

Pros

Well-equipped office facilities, Opportunity to work with recognizable Sony sports technology and major sports brands

Cons

Unclear leadership structure; U.S. IT staff report to the U.K., causing constant conflict and lack of support. •UK IT leadership does not understand the operational needs of live sports in the U.S., leading to misaligned priorities. •Informal dual reporting lines with non-IT operations staff, creating confusion and lack of accountability. •Constantly shifting responsibilities without notice, formal training, or updated job expectations. •Severe access restrictions that bottleneck simple support tasks. •No structured onboarding, mentorship, or career development. •Performance feedback is reactive and based on unclear or moving targets. No dedicated local HR representative; all HR functions are remote or based internationally
