Sony Music Entertainment reviews

This company is still very much an exclusive club for the executives and unless you are in their ranks, you don't get much opportunity to grow. This does put the company on the back foot on some things as great ideas are not considered if you are not part of the right crowd or not senior enough to even be able to speak to them. The execs are flown all over the place for social events at deep pockets costs, yet the non-execs have to write a business case on an in policy expense of $5. Since the move to the new building, non-execs have to fight for space to just plug their laptops in while execs have huge offices that are bigger than some Manhattan apartments. Sticking up for yourself only gets you shot down even further.

Policies seem largely immutable and locked from discussion, even the smallest of suggestions is not actionable for the average employee--to the extent that many employees are unwilling to discuss their authentic feelings in fear of retaliation. Mandated in office schedule with performance measured on attendance (among other things) Political culture, management has self selected so only people with similar perspectives/values will be heard or promoted. Critiques and feedback may be received and given based on alignment with leadership perspective, rather than objective performance. (ex. Two employees can make perform the same actions, but only one might be called out for it) Virtue Signaling with regards to DEI. Performs moral baseline standard of having a DEI department, quoting the values, and widening the candidate net during hiring. Little to no further facilitation or involvement after headcount is explored. Difficult to change teams or be promoted if you are not aligned with leadership/playing the political game. Can not currently recommend to anyone requiring any level of mental health support or understanding.
