      You don't want to be in Corporate Marketing

      Pros

      The name is great. The products are fun and San Diego is a great place to live. They have good sushi every day. The people are nice, but pretty disgruntled these days.

      Cons

      Management is really all over the place. All departments work in silos. Japanese sometimes speak in their native tongue right in front of you. Corporate Marketing is a bad bad department to be in. And it all starts at the top. If they ever re-align the marketing team, maybe it would be a better place for me.

      Sony is not the company that you believe it is... Avoid the temptation of joining this company

      Pros

      discounts at the Sony store

      Cons

      Extremely poor management, lack of communication from Senior Management to staff. Promotions seem to be based on a popularity contest. If you are willing to kiss the ring, and if they like you, you may be promoted. This company's Asian culture is resistant to aggressive strong willed employees who are used to merit based advancement

      Pros

      The company and products are widely recognized and you feel proud of your company. In additition, the company or the group is big enough to offer you great training and job rotation so there is lots of opportunity for career development. In relation to this, the company factories and offices are located in many places in and outside the US. Especially you will have many chances to go over to Japan office depending on your position. So if you are looking for challenges, travels and changes to deal with electronic product, it is definitely a place you should consider worling with.

      Cons

      I think the only and biggest downside to me was the fact that the company is donimated by Japananese culture. It is obvious to some extent, but sometimes I found it difficult to ;adjust to it or feel I am really the part of company. Some of the top guys were not even comnfortable communcating in English.
