Pros

The people are extremely passionate about their products. Sony Ericsson also treats their employees very fairly and is a great supporter of family. Their cultural diversity and global footprint makes it a very interesting place to work. They are a good balance between being too small to make a difference in the world but not too big to get lost and not see the diffference that you personally can make.

Cons

Sony uses it as either a place to send old executives to pasture or a place for inexperienced executives to make mistakes. That is killing them and creates a "glass ceiling" for non-Japanese. They need to hire some good, outside management.

Pros

It was a good experience. The pay was competitive for my position and the raises were decent, and better those at other companies. The paid time off and benefits were very competitive as well. The work environment was good and the people were awesome. I actually enjoyed coming to work.

Cons

Major organizational problems. It seemed like nothing ever worked the way it was supposed to. Very unstable, the company would hire on hundreds one year and lay off hundreds the next. I felt like they were always following industry trends instead of starting new ones.
