Sony is a very innovative, exciting company to work for.
Key Account Sales Executive (Current Employee), San Diego, CA –
During the last 15 years working for Sony, I handled sales for distributors, DMR accounts, internet resellers and end-users. I believe my experience within the channel help drive incremental sales and over achieve budgets expected. I have been successful with development and execution of sales strategies and marketing programs resulting in ROI and sustained – more...  revenue growth year over year. I am outgoing and energetic and build excellent relationships with all my accounts. – less

Great benefits, and opportunity for growth.
Receptionist (Former Employee), San Diego, CA –
Pros: opportunity fo growth, and rewards.
A typical day at work, would be to greet VIPs, and visitors. Data entry, filing, typing, and taking calls from the switchboard. Arrange managers flights, when they have to travel. Working for Sony we would definetly had to be a team player, and have good communication. The hardest part of the job was when one of the co-workers was off we would have – more...  to fill in for them, thats why we had to learn to cross train. The most enjoyable part of the job was when I met the VIPS from all over the country, and when management took us out to eat for our hardwork. – less

Buyer/Planner (Former Employee), Mt.Pleasant, Pa. –
Pros: great benifits and product discounts.
Cons: my position required long hours.
Ensure all parts are available for production and notify management of any potential delivery issues. Resolve any emergency situations with the suppliers and make sure they are fullfilled in a timely manner. I learned from management the ability to work in a fast paced enviroment and good teamwork skills from my co-workers. The hardest part of my job – more...  was to consistently meet production deadlines due to the constant schedule changes. Meeting the deadlines became the most satisfying part of my job. – less

Pros: local growth from older technology
Cons: life cycle of technology is short term
The Sony Local office is going through a Technological change from Magnetic Media to Flash Memory Cards.

The Sony company is in the development stage of this new Flash Card business, but needs the Technology base to become – more...  a Global leader. For this Business sector, the driving force that supports the company is with the Technology from second parties. Some of these second sources are their main competitors. – less

Digital Imaging Specialist (Former Employee), Destin, FL –
Pros: fun workplace, the product sells itself.
Cons: your enjoyment of the job is coworker dependent.
Very enjoyable job. I helped to open the Destin store and had a blast selling for them for over two years. Management for the most part is decent, with some being better than others, obviously. Had they not restructured the bonus and commission rate, I would probably work there again.
