Sony Ericsson Mobile-Global Reviews

Pros

Something that entices everybody to come to work is the company's goal to always innovate and create some of the coolest products in the mobile industry. Working on such products for over a year before they hit the market is a very satisfying experience.

Most people at Sony Ericsson are nice to work with. The work place atmosphere is usually very relaxed. The benefits package offered by Sony Ericsson USA is usually top class.

Cons

Even though the benefits package is very good, the salary the regular employee draws (Sony Ericsson USA) is usually fairly low comparing other employers.

Pros

Great place to work, it was a learning place where you could go and have fun and learn a lot.

Cons

Slow management not lots of work, but helpful. I guess that why they shut down the rdu place

Advice to Senior Management

none, maybe get better and maintaining your employees and see everything to the end.

Pros

International working environment, very bright people, some of which want to make a difference, good home and work balance and lots of scope to do things and make things happen.

Cons

Since 2007 Sony Ericsson has been in a slow and continous decline which senior management have been unable to address, which in turn has lead to employee frustration and depair. The 'spark' has gone and the company appears to be drifting aimlessly, unfortunately companies that are going nowhere are normally heading for trouble. The total acquistion of Sony Ericsson by Sony is no guarantee for future success!

In addition the work ethic of some elements of the site in Lund leave a lot to be desired, too many coffee breaks. leaving early and just coming to work purely for the money.

Advice to Senior Management

Leadership is key for setting the tone and direction of the company, senior management need to step up and re-energize the company so that innovative and compelling consumer centric products can be delivered to the market. I don't believe the current leadership are capable of doing this!

Pros

Great work environment to work in. Opportunity to test cool phones.

Cons

tedious testing from time to time

Advice to Senior Management

Keep track of work delegation

Pros

The value your outside life
Big company with options to change jobs frequently
Good atmosphere

Cons

Slow to adapt
Hard to bring in new ideas when you dont directly work with things

Pros

Process is very clear, and management structure is clear and no confusion. There are many companies that are packed with unnecessary process and managements but Sony Ericsson way is a very clear.

Cons

Nothing Particular. Benefit could be slightly better such as transportation support and quickness of HR assist, but overall there is no major issues.

Advice to Senior Management

Needs to be slightly more transparent but I do not have any problem with current management. They are very good .

Pros

Leader in chipset business. Global presence in mobile handset business. Great work ethic. Responsible management. Sony and Ericsson parthership works wonders

Cons

The profitability is below par, salary compensation can be better, office locations can imporve. More perks will better the company. Better interaction with Sony to enhance the products necessary.

Pros

Great benefits, relaxed work environment, kind and intelligent employees.

Cons

Poor business direction, lack of innovation, culturally divided; like managers, hire like employees and promote the same way. Not based on merit or job performance.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your key employees, become what you set out to be; an innovative mobile communications company with a "true Silicon Valley presence". Don't base your hiring decisions on nationality or frienship and clean house of long term management and executives no longer hungry and excited to see this company succeed in a big way.

Pros

There is indeed a lot of potential for big things here. There is a group of very talented and passionated people in this company that know how to play as a team when proper direction is provided

Cons

politics can slow down or stop important projects, communication between sites could be much better, Sr management can be in a completely different world sometimes...

Pros

Good Brand potential, strong legacy

Cons

Disorganized management, focus on the wrong things

Advice to Senior Management

Change is needed
