    Senior Manager

    Hello fishes, I am MBA '22 graduate from a tier 1 college. I have 1 YOE post-MBA in a Product Manager role, with total 3 YoE. I want to switch to a more Marketing/Strategy/GTM focused role. Can some one who's in a similar role let me know how I can switch? Or anyone who can provide a referral? Any help/suggestion is appreciated.

      Pros

      Couldn’t fault the people I worked with they were really friendly and could sometimes be fun to work with. Couldn’t fault the pay. Some of the team leaders were helpful and nice. Pretty much all the jobs there are easy.

      Cons

      Management see you as a number on a page and not as a person. Seems as if you are agency that you are treated slightly different compared to fully contracted Sony employees which I thought was unfair. Training of staff could be more consistent. Keeping up staff morale doesn’t seem important to some of the team leaders and management. Communication between everyone could be a lot better. Not a stable job as some days you had to take off unpaid or pay the hours back as there was no work. (This happened very often) Extremely strict with any sort of time off whether that’s genuine sickness or holidays etc. Hardly any opportunity for overtime and even when there is opportunity for overtime it almost always gets cancelled. Long hours, jobs can be tedious and very boring.

      As Product Marketing in Sony, you will be immersed in all facets of the business. This will accelerate your growth. You will definitely learn a lot from this job.

      Cons

      Be prepared to work long hours. It doesn't feel like the company cares about its employees. HR could do a better job at keeping it employees happy.
