Sony reviews

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.

Corporation is too heavy, that is why quite natural that even if you have new ideas (and currently Sony needs them) you are facing with several challenges: 1)conservative views inside the company 2)difficulties in cross-departamental communications 3)overall slow reaction to new things happening both inside and outside the company
