I interviewed at Sony Pictures Entertainment

Interview

Three interviews, which includes that preliminary chat with HR. The process moves along at a good pace, and the HR team is very responsive and communicative. The hiring team was diverse, down to earth, and accomplished but far from pretentious. If you get to the final round, be prepared for many questions exploring who you are and how you think, in a professional context.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sony Pictures Entertainment (Culver City, CA)

Interview

3 Rounds 1st Round - Recruiting manager 2nd Round - Manager & Director 3nd Round - Senior Vice President The first 1st round was really a meet & greet to gain understanding of what i've done and looking to do going forward. From here the recruiter agreed that the position would be a good fit. 2nd round is the most important imo... getting to know my potential manager and director. Answering questions and seeing if I'd be a good fit in team. 3rd Round validation from SVP of overall personality and fit.

Vice President of Sales

Anyone working at Sony or Playstation know if they ever have roles for people with a Sales background? (e.g. Account Executive, Account Manager, Customer Success Manager, Solution Engineer, etc.) If so, I would love to connect and see if there's a possibility to work there. It's definitely one of my dream companies, and I believe I have a solid background (6+ years) for at least an entry-level role. If those roles aren't common, any recs for what direction to shift my career towards? Thanks!!

Pretty easy, basic core questions. However the process to hear back took a long time so a lot of waiting around which was annoying. The interview also felt very casual. I was asked what I do on my free time and what my hobbies were.

Very friendly personel with a nice approach to all candidates. Interview lasted at about 30 minutes in their central offices and with the Director Manager of HR being present. All succesful candidates were told that they will be noticed within the next coming weeks in order to participate in a second interview.

3 rounds. Started with recruiter, then met hiring manager and a few team members. Still awaiting a response on next steps. It’s a slightly slower process than anticipated. Thank you.

I applied online. I interviewed at Sony Pictures Entertainment in Aug 2023

Interview

The feedback I received through out the interview process from the intial HR screening to the 1st round interview with the hiring manager and finally with the Hiring team was stellar. So stellar, that they even made comments like "You're hiried!" because I had experience that was incredibly prefereable for the role. I worked really ahrd in these interviews and in this demoralizing job market, I actually felt very confident about my chances of landing the role because I already had experience as a Coordinator, I emphasized how I wanted to grow into a senior role and they seemed to really resonate with my aspirations and even made it evident that I was a good fit. However these people went behind my back after ghosting me for a week after the final interview and only after reaching out to the HR rep- I was told that the team decided to move on to another candidate for the role. It sucked, but what made it really sting was the fact that they LIED. They killed the role and hired a MANAGER from another company- effectively gatekeeping and reventing the opportunity for advancement. There are some really bad hhiring practices int his day and age, but I have to say that the HR Rep + Hiring Manager + Hiring Team involved in "hiring" for this role are ghoulish people.

The interview process was 3 stages long; and was conducted over the course of 4 weeks. I thought the feedback I was getting was genuinely great and going to yield great results; however, they decided to double dip, interview someone else AFTER my final interview- and ultimately hire them. They also changed the role to Manger and increased the pay significantly. The hiring manager and their team wasted my time and I’m almost certain that they had a plan from the start. Absolutely ghoulish behavior.

I interview with this place about a week and a half ago. I think it went well and in the interview she said the next step would be a writing example, so I did that. Sent it to them the day it was due and haven't heard back since. She did say any next steps would be after thanksgiving since everyone was busy and their calendars full last week. I followed up on Monday with an email, but haven't heard back. Maybe it's taking awhile or should I try again end of week? I would at least like feedback.
