Pros

Sony releases interesting technology and products making it a cool place to work. Depending on the job/department there can be a reasonable work/life balance.

Cons

Engineering skills vary greatly between departments. A lot of politics abound, including working with Japan colleagues. Some departments are tough to maintain a good work/life balance. Tough to sell premium products in a down economy.

Pros

The pay was quite adequate when you compare it to a comparable job and position in a similar industry. That is to say slightly above average.

Cons

Well, I would say that the cons for working at Sony Electronics are that it is a big company and can be slow to change.

Pros

Good company overall, good pay, great benefits, GREAT exposure to systems (Hyperion, Oracle, Quest, Business Objects etc) - they use ALL!

Cons

in finance lookout for staying until 11pm or later. No work/life balance. Work load is CRAZY for one person and the compenation gap is huge. For this job (Sr. Financial analyst) you can make from $50K - 100k doing the same job (seems good but there is a catch when you get a merit bonus of 3%/year and they start you at $60k) Seems glamourous but you will work A LOT. Management could care less if its Christmas and the company has a week long MANDATORY shut down but hey its Q3 close, "what day or DAYS are you coming in????" yeah if you want to be the work horse monkey this is the place. Also you WILL get a write up for not being more "fast paced" ?????!!! you get the picture....
