Pros

People think that your job is interesting, great work-life balance, could be better if you worked in marketing or sales as those departments are clearly most valued

Cons

No career progression plans for younger employees - expect you to work blindly until an opportunity is "given" to you (coworker above you quits/laid off). No official training provided, thrown into the fire and you sink or swim. Favourtism obvious with certain managers. Terrible overall compensation. Cliquey environment means that some people may never talk to you based on your department - ie not in the "important" departments of marketing/sales/promo. Office and location is abysmal. Ultimately working under a flawed business structure where revenue available is shrinking every year and employees are expected to navigate 20 years of poor business decisions/waste and a failing record industry (not music industry as a whole). Morale is kept up by touting the company line of reaching annual business plan even though profit goals are reduced yearly.

Pros

Complete project mangement procedure, u dont need to fight for how to move forward.. you get support from team members easily .

Cons

tight project schedule leads to endless OT. Management is working for KPI rather than value added.That's a team full of project mangers.

Pros

It is global and multi-cultural company which can provide you the most advanced knowledge and experience. It is always precious to have an experience working in a foreign company in China.

Cons

Flexible working time. Free working environment. A nice working atmosphere. People like to help each other within Sony Ericsson. A little above middle level payment.
