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.
