      Pros

      Sony Semiconductor Solutions (parent company of Sony AVS) is the largest image sensor manufacturer in the world. As market leader, the Sony Semiconductor sensors are in billions of smartphones of all brands. To stay in this position, Sony needs to continuously innovate... and this is the job of Sony AVS. So the opportunity is large. Our innovations can end up in billions of devices.

      Cons

      Innovation in a multinational, large corporation is not easy. There are many challenges which require determination, passion and patience.

      Good company, but experience depends on organization and its manager.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people with high communication skills, respectfulness to each other, expertize.

      Cons

      Upper management, whether in Japan or the U.S., is consumed by political struggles for self-preservation. Instances of power harassment and gender discrimination are occasionally observed. Some individuals even resort to shouting when things don't go their way, creating an extremely outdated environment. Those who manage to climb the ranks within such a system excel at building networks and maneuvering within Sony, but they gain no skills or experiences that are applicable outside the company.

      Toxic Environment and Even Worse Middle Management

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits. Good pay. Well known company.

      Cons

      Awful middle management and despicable senior managers. No work life balance. Poor HR. Poor leadership throughout the company. Lots of busy work and work done only to look busy. Many people within the organization care more about the way they are portrayed to others instead of actually acomplishing anything of real value.
