Sony Electronics Reviews

Pros

Unlimited PTO, company vehicle, some travel to Las Vegas (CES) or HQ in San Diego for meetings.

Cons

Responsibility of the role changed with covid and a couple years without a raise felt like I was doing more for less.

Pros

Great place to learn and train on the job.

Cons

Experience is no longer valued, especially in the Corporate Finance and Corporate Planning. People who have been employed for more than 10 years, can see cycles repeating, but no one in upper management listens.

Pros

Massive company with tons of opportunities in everything from electronics to game development to movies and music. Over all I think people are very happy to work there and as in most companies it comes down to having a good manager. I have been fortunate to have some of the best managers in my career at Sony

Cons

I was unfortunate to end up in a dead end of the company with all my managers located in either Sweden or Japan. I had the feeling that the reason for why myself and the rest of my team of 4 people where there just so my managers could say that our bigger team had an office in Silicon Valley. This bad time lasted for about 5 years before I decided to leave the company. I should also point out that before this bad time I have been fortunate to have have some of the best managers in my career and then had a great time at the company.

Pros

Work with the newest consumer electronics and share the experience with others in the industry.

Cons

Retail / environment is changing - being phased out. Role is constantly changing.

Pros

Sony Electronics is an advocate for Work Life Balance. We are provided Free Fridays to relax. Catch up on emails, take in a sit-com, have pizza nite for lunch. However you'd like to spend it, it's yours. Also, Sony provides services to balance family. My family is my elderly mother. With Bright Horizons, I am able to schedule an aide to help her while I take a quick vaca with my husband. BH is a blessing. Last, but not least Virgin Pulse. I love the app, my coach and how Sony encourages healthy mental and physical well being.

Cons

none that I can think of.

Pros

Good company, great people and excellent benefits

Cons

Compensation is not competitive and upward mobility is limited

Pros

Fun projects to work on, very nice and helpful co-workers, received a lot of feedback and assistance, overall a very friendly and welcoming environment. Plenty of PTOs and very flexible work times.

Cons

May have to overcome steep learning curves before being able to contribute to projects.

Pros

Opportunities and management support for business process excellence keep the workplace energetic, engaging, and fulfilling. Colleagues are generally supportive and engaged in helping each other and the company succeed. Diversity is valued throughout all levels and in hiring as well as in decision-making. The company has made progress over the last 5 years to support work life balance.

Cons

Working across cultures and with overseas headquarters can make work decisions challenging. Work-life balance initiatives are not yet evenly available across all departments and functions.

Pros

Great benefits! And excellent work environment!

Cons

A lot of internal politics!

Pros

Very good work life balance. Unlimited vacation. Good atmosphere.

Cons

Head count reduction has caused a big increase in the work load for remaining employees.
