      Slow, bloated, cumbersome, yet stable, profitable, supportive

      Pros

      Strong profitable company isn't going anywhere. They do offer good benefits. And you cant forget about the product discounts. Management personally seems to be supportive of employee issues.

      Cons

      There is way to much of a management layer. Sony in San Diego really doesn't even have the ability to make decisions, 90+% of decisions come from Japan. There is all this management in San Diego that add to the length of time for answers, direction, etc. Development gets behind, every manager seems to always want his/her hand in the pot when it comes to "approving" things, but never when it comes to helping with direction for projects. Sony is meeting crazy, there is meetings for everything, maybe 10% being productive. Projects move through development slow and lengthy due to massive process and procedures put on.

      Only your ego will benefit from working at Sony Electronics, NOT your bank account!

      Pros

      Discounts on products, a few perks here and there, but overall, if you're a little fish in the company, be prepared to be taken advantage of by the big fish. Little room for advancement unless you are Asian. If you are Asian, come work at Sony Electronics cause you will be upper management in no time at all!

      Cons

      Long hours of grueling work with little chance of your ideas seeing the light of day. If you do have a good idea or theory, prepare to have it taken away from you so someone in a higher seat of management so they can take all the credit for it. Plus if you come up with a brilliant idea for a patent, prepare to have that taken away from you too and prepare to be under compensated for the patent... like to the tune of a flat rate of $1500. That's it! You won't be collecting royalties, that's for sure!
