Great Place to work, but it's easy to get complacent. RTP Site is pretty much a satellite site

Pros

The Employees and Culture is what makes SonyEricsson a great place to work. The lifestyle is great the low cost of living in NC is always a plus.

Cons

Promotions are pretty much lateral moves, it's difficult to make any move upwards. SonyEricsson Sweden basically makes all the decisions.

Wait until they are back in the green before considering a career with SEMC.

Business Outlook

Pros

The work environment is relaxed, the people are nice, and the locality is great. SE is a global company, however the RTP branch is less than 1000 employees. Pay is competitive and benefits are good. Managers encourage open dialogue, have an "open-door" policy.

Cons

Job security. SEMC is fighting for market share in the United States, and if there are losses reported for several quarters in a row, drastic personnel measures will be taken. In our department (Software), we went though 4 re-orgs in the past year. It seems like they still haven't figured out what's the best way to improve process.
