Sony is a great company to work for but mgmt is still stuck in the past

Business Outlook

Pros

Great incentives/gifts/trips... no micro-managing & flexible work life... it's always fun to sell consumer electronics instead of a widget

Cons

Lack of recognition that competition is tough... pricing is higher than industry average... flat panel tv's are considered a commodity product by general public so high-quality differentiation is difficult

Losing innovation, old style politics, favoritism.

Pros

-Modern clean building in San Diego (Building 1). -Able to learn new skills and tools (if you continuously ask), collaborate with people worldwide.

Cons

-Cutthroat management, instead of finding solutions to the problem. Middle management can be hostile towards the people doing the brunt of the work. -Politics that require so many 'meetings' with ideas and products eventually getting cut. -Favoritism, cronyism rampant. -It appears that a large portion of the software side of the company are contractors and not full time employees. Why not just pay your employees the benefits and hire them? -A feeling that your job can be potentially outsourced at anytime in Japan or China.
