Pros

1. Good people at the worker bee level. 2. Interesting space to work in. 3. Rovi acquisition may help make it a better environment and have better structure and common goals. We'll see though.

Cons

1. Each divisions is a separate business unit within the company, which makes it difficult because they each have their own agenda. 2. Management seems to have its own politics across divisions. Its pretty well known that certain upper management don't get along well at all, which hinders any integration between divisions. Hopefully Rovi will fix this. 3. Benefits are not that great as compared to other companies I have worked in. 4. The company takes on way too many projects with little resources. Its one thing not to turn away business, but its another to overwork your employees. 5. Only directors and above get bonuses or stock options. That is extremely lame and thus offers no incentive for anyone to exceed expectations in their job if you are below director level.

Pros

Sonic has led so many technology innovations which has meant a lot of change at the company. Even in that ever changing technologies market, I felt that sr. management always demonstrated that they care about their employees. I was able to grow my career through promotions and learning opportunities. I feel that my salary was certainly mostly in-line with what I could have earned from other companies, but the opportunities for learning and growth was what kept me at Sonic. Overall, my experience at Sonic has been invaluable in positioning me for success in my future endeavors.

Cons

The only real negative things to say about Sonic are just about things that a company like Sonic didn't really have much control over. The massive efforts and expense to comply with changing Federal reporting regulations, industry-wide technology confusion, and a terrible economy, were all things that Sonic had to combat. I personally feel that they did the best they could have done.
