Pros

Covers studio advanced tools to comsumer retail products, the advantages be reused for consumer product with user friendly look and feel. Knowing the edge of technologies, this is a best place than much more huge companies.

Cons

Everyone is nice like a family, still like a startup venture company.

Hopefully becoming part of Rovi will be better

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.

My experience at Sonic has been really positive

Pros

Sonic is a really innovative company in the digital media business. Over my time at Sonic, we've been involved in lots of different areas of content creation - from pro authoring application to consumers software, and now video services. Sonic isn't afraid to take risks and move into new areas of digital media and gives its employees lots of room to innovate.

Cons

The downside of Sonic has been that management is sometimes too hands-off, where more direct management might be required. Sonic also stopped giving out stock options to the general employee population, reserving them instead for Dir. level and up.
