      Nice to have on your CV, not so nice for your personal life

      Pros

      It´s a well recognized place to work. It gives some wight to CV since it´s well seen by almost everyone.

      Cons

      Main downside: Japanese-culture-company: NO personal life, management´s main priority is work life. No balance between work and personal life. Not to be even considered as a "best place to work". Most managers decide by themselves.

      Good place to work, don't kill yourself

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Reputation, salary, opportunity for advancement. I earn a great deal of respect both in the workplace and from my peers with the knowledge that I am employed by such a well respected company as Sony. I have confidence in the brand name and its recognition that preceeds my reputation and helps me earn respect wherever I choose to go.

      Cons

      The only real downside I experienced was that they looked down on my having a personal life, and any time family came first I was ostracized and led to believe that a promotion was at stake if I did not put the company first. They expected me to be available 24-7 and to always put work first.

      Pros

      Lots of cheap toys in the staff shop Kind culture Not demanding in results If you stay long enough you get promotion Lots of chance to discuss things Willing to try things Respectful

      Cons

      Long hours Inflexible Poor leaders Japanese get best jobs, but don't stay to see things through Lack of vision Still in denial about ipod Dull offices Little development, although improving for some people Very poor at change Don't see things through Suspicious of outsiders - not keen on partnering Customers don't figure in our conversations except as 'things' to keep at a distance
