Pros

very friendly environment in the company. no work pressure. pick up and drop transportation facility was provided. weekly 2 days off excluding government holidays. every 3 months once outing was arranged by the company for relaxation from the work pressure.

Cons

working timings was fixed. so that we need to go same time everyday. twilight shift is little difficulty since we need to leave the home 2:30 pm and we reach at 3:00 am morning. we want be having sleep completely and also we were dropping our breakfast.

Pros

The atmosphere is pleasant because of nice colleagues and good team spirit. Depending on your team, there might be flexible home office / modified working hours possibility (in an ad hoc way). Also team dependant, but you might have several possibilities to travel to foreign Sony offices. Usually the work-life balance is okay, but overtime might be necessary sometimes.

Cons

The managers in Western European Offices are well experienced and usually excellent leaders, however we can not say the same from the Budapest Office (Sony Europe). Partly because of the difficult centralization processes, but also because of some incompetent team leaders / managers. (SSE) The managerial decision making process has a last minute style - or/and the communication is very late. There's no such "long run plans" communicated. Lately there are less travel and training opportunities due to general cost cut. No team buildings. Lack of performance measurement and indicators. There's not much chance to contribute to your bonus level. No career plan within the company (or very few possibilities for changing). Insufficient back-up system.
