      Sony Electronics is on a downward spiral that they can't seem to stop.

      Pros

      Plenty of cool toys and technologies to keep you busy (when the toys work). Most people are friendly and there's an on site Starbucks coffee shop & cafeteria. Employee discounts are decent.

      Cons

      Profound lack of vision and product direction. Politics are a nightmare, decisions are made in Japan and your input means little or nothing. Management is secretive and opaque. Sony is very out of touch with it's customers and their products are overpriced. Lack of understanding of US culture by Japan decision makers.

      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
