Pros

Sony mobile is a truly global working environment. You work with latest technology in mobile tech, meet with lots of proffesionals in this area, both collegues, suppliers and custoomers. This is very inspiring and developing. You will have lots of responsibility and authority if you like. Lots of possibilities for personal development.

Cons

Some times too fast changes. Very competitive business where you never can rest and relax. This is something one have to cope with.

Pros

Flat Infrastructure. Excellent benefits. Excellent training. Loved the people. It was a wonderful experience.

Cons

Sony Ericsson did not do a good job promoting their own product in the US so we always felt on edge about our jobs. In the end that was the death of us. We ended up being laid off in October 2008 when the CDMA channel was completely shut down.

Fun products, young and energetic team. possibility to work independently, add own projects and own creativity in many areas. modern culture with flexible work conditions.

Cons

in the middle of a huge change process with a recent owner change and the recently announced lay-offs. In some areas can be a bit anonymous. Very process driven in some areas.
