Customer Experience Team Lead (Current Employee), San Diego, CA – May 7, 2013
Pros: cross-cultural environment, diligence, brand recognition
Cons: too many managers/directors, internal politics, slow decision making, overtime
Great experience working at a big company. People at Sony are very nice. I truly enjoyed working at Sony. It is sometimes very challenging working at cross-cultural place, but it makes creative environment. Since I has to work as a liaison between many countries such as Japan, China, Europe, Brazil, and US, I acquired communication skills a lot. Like – more... other big and traditional company, Sony also has too many managers/directors and there are many internal politics around. But it was nice learning experience too. I did a lot of overtime, but it was worthy. I managed over 50 usability improvement type studies in 4 years. Great experience. – less

Fast pace environment that was always dynamic.
Senior Sales Account Manager (Former Employee), Park Ridge, NJ – April 24, 2013
I had the ability to Network extensively in my most recent Sales position. I enjoyed interacting with my coworkers and accounts. The travel was a plus as I had the ability to go across the U.S. and visit areas that I may not have. This position was also one of growth. I was able to push my career in the right path.

Great products, great service
Television/Home Audio-Video Lead (Current Employee), Pottstown, PA – April 23, 2013
A typical day at work consists of helping customers and troubleshooting any problems they might have. We would set up new product if it came in. I gained a ridiculous amount of product knowledge through my time with sony, not just of sony products alone but with all electronics in general. My co-workers were great and I am friends with most of them. – more... The hardest part of the job is the language barrier with some of the customers. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to be around all of the newest technology. – less

Everyday at Sony was full of different challenges and work so you never find yourself bored.

Sr. Solutions System Architect (Current Employee), Alpharetta, GA – April 18, 2013
Great brand: excellent electronic products, R&D and service organization. Times are hard, but I believe that Sony will weather the storm. Organizational changes will hopefully yield a company much leaner & more fit for global competition.

A typical day at Sony Electronics, Inc included answering phone calls, resolving customer issues, and report creation.

An interesting place to work
Program Manager (Former Employee), San Diego – March 13, 2013
Pros: a good company with good values
Cons: not competitive with other technological companies
Sony Electronics would be a better place to work if the different divisions within the organisation communicated better with each other from a management perspective. Due to bad economic conditions the company and Sony overall is going through a phase where aggressive cost cutting measure are being taken.

Top management is working hard to turn it around – more... but are facing many challenges

Not many perks available to the employees – less
