    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.

      Sony India- A nightmare!

      9 Jun 2011 -  in Bengaluru
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. technically work is ok. 2. It was my dream company before joining. 3. Versatile culture in terms of contractors - you can find nearly every IT company's contractors here.

      Cons

      1. Incompetent CTC. 2. Working here is nightmare. They try to make your life hell by deliberately pressurizing you to work more and fast. 3. Management is very immature, no transparency, no learning opportunities and religiously into micro-management. a) Immature mgmt: Managers and leads think thenselves as king and treats you like servent and try to command you. They don't trust you at all. They will scrutinize deeply you at every step. Try to make you work for at least more than 12 hrs a day, if you don't they will screw your appraisal. they will shamelessly highlight your mistakes/negative points to every one and won't praise you at good work. b) No transparency: They tend to make you handicapped by hiding the info as much as possible. c) No learning: apart from project no freedom for learning. d) Micro-mgmt: they ask you status daily before leaving and shamelessly keep reviews and meetings after office hrs. No freedom to do anything apart from work. This kind of behavior tends to eat up your brain. 4) No facilities for employee like other companies. My previous company had much better facilities and culture. 5) Culture is non-cooperative and over work is high expectation with no overtime pay. 6) Company don't believe in keeping employee happy. 7) Attrition rate is going exponentially up. 8) They don't believe work life balance.

      Pros

      TVs you will get for 30 percent discount

      Cons

      Managers does not have any work they just forward you report to client and receive what ever client blames directly to you. no filtering no support from managers to you. Each employee should have two skills one technical and second managerial, because whatever happens in your work you are only responsible. manager is just a hollow pipe if you blow from this end reaches to client and whatever client blames reaches to you without any filter. work life balance is worst. you have to work like robot.
