Temporary / Free Time
Beta Tester (Former Employee), Home Based – March 13, 2013
Pros: home my time.
I learned the advance things from these guys. I didnt really have any co-workers other than the people who reviwed my feedback and we never really met face to face so. But It was something I could do when I had nothing better to do... flexible hours my time.

Pros: individual cubicles. hour lunches. relaxed atmosphere.
Cons: rich snobs wanted to move soe to san diego and laid off everyone.
Everyday when I go into work, there was always a new phone to test one of Sony's mobile phone games out. There was always something to do and report.

Great company, job not so much
Customer Support (Former Employee), San Diego, CA – March 5, 2013
Pros: great people, employees treated well.
Cons: difficult, unless you possess knowledge that the company can actually use.
Not the worst job in the world, but it tends to never grow. The same issues, the same customers who think it's okay to behave the way they do, the same feeling of dread every time the phone rings. Working there actually hurt what I traditionally do in other companies' eyes.

It was ok.
PRODUCER (Former Employee), San Diego, CA – September 20, 2012
Not a bad place to work. Typical corporate politics.

Tend to take on too many projects without enough people.

Quality Assurance at Sony Online Entertainment
Quality assurance Analyst (Former Employee), San Diego, CA – August 17, 2012
Pros: stable, good people, good work place, perks.
Cons: pay, management, benefits
Sony Online Entertainment is a good company to work for, but the Quality Assurance department is another story. Since the majority of the employees in that department are contract, you're not actually working for Sony. It's very difficult to get ahead in that department unless you have good connections with the Sony employees. there seemed to be some – more... favoritism when promotions occurred, instead of fully judging contract employees by their achievements. I was there for over 3 years doing work well above the position I was in. I was always hard working, but was pushed to the side and eventually laid off when I said that I could not work on Sundays because of family reasons. This is not necessarily saying that Sony is a bad company to work for, it just depends on the department you're in. Still, I learned a lot in my three years of employment there, acquired so many different skills, and it was an enjoyable work environment to work in. I do not regret my time at SOE. – less
