Sony Ericsson Mobile-Global – “Drifting Ship”

Pros

Working in a very dynamic environment, committed and talented employees, company can develop outstaning products, lots of freedom if you willing to take the initiative and don/t mind working extended hours.

Cons

Poor leadership from senior management has resulted in a very poor performance in terms of delivering compelling products and with high quality. Poor follow up on issues which means things tended to drift with no decision. Because there is no clear direction people are running around like headless chickens doing their own stuff and making decisions in their own silos. What a mess!

Advice to Senior Management

Company needs clear direction to move forward to address these issues and clear out a lot of dead wood. Hope the new president has the persistence and energy to drive thru the needed changes quickly so Sony Ericsson can get back on track.
