Tough Culture

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

1) Some fantastic people who care and want to do a great job. 2) Competitive salaries (more than competitive at the director on up levels), good benefits 3) Most roles have a good work-life balance

Cons

1) The culture is not very good. Lots of layoffs, constant fear of losing your job. People protect their jobs, and don't worry about the company or the organization outside of their direct team 2) Things are often dictated at the micro level on high from company HQ 3) Most roles are just about executing plans from above. Innovation is often talked about, but innovative ideas are quickly squashed.

Unfulfilled Promise - lack of vision

Business Outlook

Pros

Some great people, with potential for providing strong contribution. History of strong technology; still some important patents. Decent pay and good benefits. Potential for important synergies between Sony pictures, Sony music, Playstation, Consumer electronics and professional electronics -- no competitors have that.

Cons

Weak management with frequent turnover. No accountability. Constant re-shuffling of leadership in Japan means nobody has the incentive to take business risks and "own" important new initiatives. US management has been reduced to beancounters and apologists. True product management, strategic planning and R&D have all been decimated.

Pros

Once was great. Smart and hardworking people. Good benefits. Flexible work schedule. Nice office space. Some good products. Great location.

Cons

Products weren't good enough. Too slow to see the market changing. Couldn't change with new technology. Overall weak product and marketing leadership.
