Sony Ericsson Mobile-Global – “Sony Ericsson has amazing employees.”

Pros

The people are extremely passionate about their products. Sony Ericsson also treats their employees very fairly and is a great supporter of family. Their cultural diversity and global footprint makes it a very interesting place to work. They are a good balance between being too small to make a difference in the world but not too big to get lost and not see the diffference that you personally can make.

Cons

Sony uses it as either a place to send old executives to pasture or a place for inexperienced executives to make mistakes. That is killing them and creates a "glass ceiling" for non-Japanese. They need to hire some good, outside management.

Advice to Senior Management

Break free from the curse of being Sony's executive dumping and testing ground.
