Pros

No reason to work here for good people. If you are an idiot, ideal place for you!

Cons

Even after 3 years of working in sony, Tokyo, I haven't found single employee who likes to work in Sony. Everyone hates Sony but nobody ever says anything, because HR will blackmail employee to quit Sony. I had worst experience with this company, and i recommend anyone who has a good brain, not to join this company, and go for more innovative and fast growing groups. The engineering team is dumb, management is horrible. This is a company of followers, and they will make you a follower. This company cheats employees, treats them like a slave and blackmails them to get what they want. Sony sucks! Specially for foreigners, they do not provide opportunities to foreigners, but only Japanese people. The whole setup is made to misled good people into joining this absurd organization.

Pros

My peers were wonderful, they have a desire to do well, to help the customer and create a memorable customer experience. I'll also agree with the consensus and say the cafeteria is pretty damn good.

Cons

No sense of direction, management stifles creativity, decisions are made from the top down without considering the opinions or the input of the people those decisions affect. President has a "take it or leave it" attitude about being employed at Sony; if you don't like it, find something else. Company is bleeding employees and CANNOT hold onto talent because they don't harness it. Management doesn't understand the concept of human capital and that the employees are their greatest assets. Promotions are scarce. Recognition and kudos from upper management are non existent. Management concentrates on managing with little regard for LEADING.

Pros

Bend is a lovely place and the people are all very friendly and talented. The Character Modeling Supervisor and his team are some of the best people I have had the pleasure to work with in my 15 years of professional experience. They are very family oriented and it means alot to a father of two young children.

Cons

it is secluded and some of the folks there have become complacent and are waiting for their chance cash out.
