Pros

Strong profitable company isn't going anywhere. They do offer good benefits. And you cant forget about the product discounts. Management personally seems to be supportive of employee issues.

Cons

There is way to much of a management layer. Sony in San Diego really doesn't even have the ability to make decisions, 90+% of decisions come from Japan. There is all this management in San Diego that add to the length of time for answers, direction, etc. Development gets behind, every manager seems to always want his/her hand in the pot when it comes to "approving" things, but never when it comes to helping with direction for projects. Sony is meeting crazy, there is meetings for everything, maybe 10% being productive. Projects move through development slow and lengthy due to massive process and procedures put on.
