      Pros

      I came from a much smaller company to Sony, because of their size, they have a lot of resources, Diverse employee population Opportunity to travel globally

      Cons

      Due to cultural differences, shear size and management style, Sony was unable to compete in many sectors. Lost it's media player market to Apple twenty years ago, lost computer and laptop market to Apple and some of the Windows based machines. Unable to gain market share in mobile phone industry.

      Pros

      Good name to have your resume as it's a big, recognizable company that makes a lot of consumer products.

      Cons

      Long hours, poor work/life balance, very low pay compared to the same position in a company of similar size. Old-fashioned management style where promotions are based on seniority instead of merit and performance.

      No Life Balance Only Work

      Pros

      Some of the people were good to work with, location was easy to get to, benefits were better than some other companies I have seen

      Cons

      If you work for the wrong manager, watch out they will undermine you. I saw one manager have employee after employee request transfer out to another position BUT they did not remove the manager. I had good managers but no work/life balance. Took time off and still had to work. Constant phone calls/emails and needing new reports even when only taking a day off that was planned over 30 days in advance. No respect for people's time. Open time off but again if you have a bad manager you barely get time off. Some people you see get 2-3 weeks every 6 months while others that are holding the business together barely got 1 week. Not a good plan.
