A nice lack of micromanagers, but difficult to see how to advance - Anonymous employee Sony Pictures Entertainment Employee Review

Pros

This division no longer exists, but it was intellectually stimulating to work there. Staff was treated with respect, and management tended to assume you knew what you were doing (rather than micromanage).

Cons

Corporate structure was a little vague and information is kept in "silos," so it was difficult to figure out who you had to contact to get permissions and cooperation required for projects. Some - but not all! - divisions had no clear path to advancement.

Pros

- began work with an amazing team and culture - exposure to major IP and high-profile campaigns - some genuinely talented and passionate colleagues - fast-paced environment that builds skills quickly - healthcare is decent - some fun on-lot perks

Cons

- poor work/life balance exceptions from SPTV lower and upper management - unmanageable workload left little room for the collaboration and meeting engagement leadership expected - upper management changes resulted in reactive restructuring with little regard for team culture or continuity - inconsistent management: some leaders failed to empower or advocate for their teams - clear office politics which interfere with business decisions - quick burnout when management fails to course-correct workload - leadership set workloads based on personal work style rather than sustainable team norms - little to no growth opportunities - 4 days in office is excessive and unnecessary
