Pros

Good package & benefits Good insight of a large, multi-national company Nice insight of a high-tech, industry leading company Good tolerance training - you'll learn to have a LOT of patience Lot of travel - if your position allows

Cons

Creativity is not really needed if you're outside Japan - if you want to get involved in designing things, the best place you can start would be Japan Large & relatively old company = a lot of historical agreements, processes = a lot of time and energy spent on inefficiencies Not really innovative atmosphere

Pros

nice environment and values of a company with a strong history.

Cons

Sony had lost a captain, and now can't find the way to return to its real value. from the product point of view, it seems that japaneses don't understand market and they stay all day (and night) long in their offices inventing products that have maybe good manifacture, but no appeal to coustomers. from the talent point of view, all talents are escaping and that's normal, if a company doesn't do anything for the employees (no careers, no understanding of the strengths of the people, no marketing at all, no courses to personal develop, etc)
