Vantaggi
Sony has a great brand and is remarkably stable. Recent years have seen better cooperation across sister companies (Pictures, Music, Playstation) which is encouraging. Sony provides a good work-life balance. The benefits are good and the employee discounts will make you everyone's best friend.
Svantaggi
Sony is a large organization and has all the big company politics that go with it. It is difficult to know what your career path and options are. Frequent challenges arise because our products are from Japan and the US is more or less a sales company that focuses on sales, marketing and logistics. Most jobs here will not be part of the creative aspects of product. Difficult to sometimes get Japanese to see things from same perspective.
