Pros

Flexible work environment, dedicated and loyal workforce, excellent amenities. Opportunity to work with cool products that you use personally. Brand recognition.

Cons

Years of layoffs due to declining sales have reduced this company to a shell of what it once was. Sony is desperately trying to gain market share, but their efforts do not seem to be working; therefore, this company is not able to offer long term job security. Budgets are tight, very little opportunity for career growth or dollars spent for development.

Pros

Employee exchange program that can allow you to explore working for Sony in other parts of the world Learning Japanese culture In my team, we had a lot of room to choose our own technology See what it takes to affect change in a incredibly large company Great work life balance in America (not so good in Japan) You meet a lot of different people

Cons

Advancement doesn't seem to be based on technological merit or performance, but more on sticking to how Sony already does things Management on both sides of the Pacific don't seem to be in sync most of the time
