Pros

Massive company with tons of opportunities in everything from electronics to game development to movies and music. Over all I think people are very happy to work there and as in most companies it comes down to having a good manager. I have been fortunate to have some of the best managers in my career at Sony

Cons

I was unfortunate to end up in a dead end of the company with all my managers located in either Sweden or Japan. I had the feeling that the reason for why myself and the rest of my team of 4 people where there just so my managers could say that our bigger team had an office in Silicon Valley. This bad time lasted for about 5 years before I decided to leave the company. I should also point out that before this bad time I have been fortunate to have have some of the best managers in my career and then had a great time at the company.
