      SONY - a global brand but still an outdated Japanese company

      Pros

      - stable - great name value sayng you work for "SONY" - fairly flexible work hours

      Cons

      - mediocre compensation and benefits - unmotivating environment with unhappy employees - management is a mess with often times offering little direction - completely controlled by Japan-side - competition within internal groups and little sharing within the same company - all the real exciting action happens in Japan, US groups are just sub-contractors

      Good for the short term, but don't buy a new house . . .

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Sony Ericsson in RTP has a reasonbly good work life balance, with really good benefits. The salaries seem to be relatively competitive.

      Cons

      There is definitely a glass ceiling for engineers. This may also be true for engineering careers in general, but if you are in a specialized area that is where you will remain. There is the constant threat of layoffs, of course. The Research Triangle Park site is a satellite site with little political power. It is a puppet resource to be used up until the day it is no longer competitive. There is a feeling that all of the design sites are competing with each other, which goes against the lip service of "we must all work together."
