Good place to work but no loyalty or care for employees.

Pros

Great access, nice benefits, nice environment to work in. I found everyone very helpful and nice. Overall it was an enjoyable workplace.

Cons

I was laid off.... during the pandemic. I then interviewed within Sony and had a few of the worst interview experiences of my life and was even sent generic automated rejection letters. Honestly after working there over three years and the sting of being laid off and made vulnerable during a pandemic from a company that was bringing in so much money.. and then to be treated not so nice after... Pretty surprising and based on the experience I had working there.

Pros

Started with the company in it's Bay Area location and it was a great place to work. I learned a lot about the process and grew as a professional, received decent benefits, paid a competitive salary for the San Francisco area. Worked with intelligent and smart people.

Cons

My tenure took a strange turn as the department management was replaced with someone who had a very nationalistic view on the company. From then on, my Bay Area counterparts started to be ignored a lot more and favoritism started to show. It was such a damn shame because I absolutely loved working for this company and everything it represented for the product I worked on. I wish I could have continued working here for the rest of my life and I would have highly considered retiring with them, but I didn't want to be undermined for who I am. My first 2 years I rate 4-5 stars. My last 2 years I rate 2 stars.
