Pros

What you do will affect the whole world and this feels really good. The brand is really strong and give you some social status. Feeling of doing something premium, not because it is cheap, but we will do it because it is good for the customer. Friendly. People will smile during meetings and invite you to drink together. Really interesting people around: Almost everybody has a hobby like playing guitar, scuba diving or Snowboarding. Easy to find your own group.

Cons

Slow to adopt to new process. Always in big teams, too many meetings with too many people. Too many middle management jobs and too much offshore, what demotivate some engineers that come here to create and eventually they are just managing cheaper labour in other countries.

Pros

Very high focus on the people side. A lot of fun and you will make friends here. Strong Sony feeling and a lot of history. Organization is trying to change to be the brand it once was.

Cons

Decisions take a long time. Lot of inefficiency in communication, Tokyo link vs. local execution. Workload increasing.
