      Pros

      Discount on products specially given during diwali, Medical compensation

      Cons

      Only testing projects and very few maybe 2-3 maintainance project. Politics is in every organisation but some teams in Sony beat all. Only people who butter their bosses are retain ,if u open your mouth against any issue /any injustice spineless managers will throw you into some other projects. Girls are not treated with respect in some teams. They will hire developers and give work of testers. Even if you confirm that your role is of development while joining,suddenly any day they will change your team and you are forced to join testing projects. Dont trust anything which they tell you while joining,any fine day your project is changed and your profile changes from developer to tester. If you continue in testing project for long,then its become difficult to get back to development projects and your whole career is ruined. If you refuse to change your current project they will degrade you morally. Developers profile can change anytime into tester. Salary is low compared to other organisation.

      Micro-managed

      Product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Having Sony on your CV still looks good. Very little positive about this company and where they are heading

      Cons

      Company lack a clear direction and strategy. They believe their success from the 1980's is still relevant today and that being a market leader once means you will always be one (which is not the case). Heavily Micro-managed and continually reporting which leaves very little time for actual productive work. The Japanese culture and mentality is forced throughout the entire company. Long work hours are expected and vacation seen as a complete luxury.
