Pros

Insurance benefits and employee assistance programs are good. Employees' needs are well met in these areas.

Cons

Sony hasn't had a product that has put them in the spotlight in years. As a result, the company is in distress and in a constant state of flux as they attempt to recover some recognition in the marketplace. Large divisions have closed or merged with other locations, and many jobs eliminated. Long term employees and strategies have been replaced with new faces and methods in a fruitless effort to regain a foothold. Business is conducted using minute to minute strategy, thereby creating confusion and unrest among employees. Employees are disgruntled and insecure.

Pros

Assignments on latest technologies. very good hike year after year. No pressure , quality matters not volume. Best company to work with for "Just married" people.

Cons

A few developement and R&D projects. Sony tokyo decides evrything. For fresh graduate from NIT/IIT , it may not prove to be good place to work because u may land in some maintenance or testing projects.
