Pros

Ok: Pay, work/life balance, benefits, employee discounts on sony products Of course, work/life balance entirely depends on which department you are in and on who you have as a manager. My department was too "corporate" for my liking but this was due to the head of the department (my boss' boss). Most of the management in Sony Corporation of America have been around for ages, so this can be both good (they are experienced and knowledgable of the business) and bad (not so open to change). There are a lot of good people in the company but the morale is on the low side.

Cons

HR department needs replacing, some high level execs are more concerned with covering their behind than doing what is best for the company, no Employee Stock Purchase Plan, too much outsourcing, aging offices (soon this will change for the better), corporate culture needs a makeover, my department enforced business casual dress code (its the 21st century guys and Sony is not a blood sucking/soul destroying bank)

Pros

Flexibility in working timings and good pay master. Less opportunities in working with different domains.

Cons

Generally don't have process oriented implementation in projects. It's tough to switch between the different groups for domain change.
