Pros

Was able to work with smart, highly qualified individuals who were more than happy to teach me. Some of the best programmers I have ever worked with were at the company.

Cons

Lack of direction, lack of oversight. I was never given specific projects to work on assignments to complete, it was more of a research and development atmosphere.

Pros

The only good thing about working at Sony is that anywhere you work after leaving will seem much better by comparison.

Cons

Human Resources exists to make excuses for the bad behavior of Senior Management and Executive Leadership. Bad hires remain on the payroll and are promoted because hiring managers are too arrogant to admit and fix their mistakes. Complete lack of understanding of US consumer market. Outdated management hierarchy filled by executives with personal motivations destructive to the overall organization. No set path for career advancement or development; promotions based on personal preferences rather than professional performance. Lack of work-life balance with most employees Disparity of salaries across comparable jobs and responsibility levels Backbiting that's tolerated or even encouraged
