      Pros

      Fantastic working environment Medical insurance Good pension Free phones and bills paid Lots of opportunities for promotion Travel opportunities Directors not afraid to can projects if they delivered too late Good salary Best of all I worked with some fantastic people and 8 years after being made redundant still in touch and we still speak positively of our time in SEMC

      Cons

      A lot of cloak and dagger stuff from senior management but SEMC are no different from other companies in that respect. Lost a lot of knowledge and talent when they closed down all UK operations in 2009

      Pros

      A good company if you just graduated or just starting your career. Open door culture, advancement and competitive pay. They promote work/life balance throughout the company.

      Cons

      Punchcard system where they will deduct your monthly salary based on how many minutes you're late for that month. Chances for getting a promotion is based on seniority rather than performance. Work becomes a routine after about 2 years, not much opportunities to learn new things.

      Pros

      Some projects are cutting edge. If you get into one, your future is good. Domains include DSP, Linux, TV, Mobile, Playstation, Sensors, Cloud, Hadoop, ML etc. Good opportunities for pursuing POCs outside project during Technical Events. Annual day event is good, mostly conducted outside Bangalore over a weekend. HR policies are good.

      Cons

      As always, some of the projects are of maintenance type. Most are service based and few are on the Sony's products. Depending on your client, your work pressure varies. But clients are typically hard working so you may need to keep up with them. But not that bad. Salary is pretty average, on the lines of service companies. Though you are given chance to participate in technical events, you will have to spend time outside of your project work. There is no 20% free time.
