Great Experience!
Project Management Intern (Former Employee) – Herndon, VA – August 1, 2017
Working for Sony offered a great environment with a committed team and supportive management staff. Sony company culture supports independent thinking and opportunity to explore your own ideas. Many classes and forums are held regularly for the people that are interested in progressing in the IT field. A challenge within the field, for me, was being in an environment where my team is primarily remote.
Pros
Great Lunch and Learns.
Cons
The amount of work creates a difficult work/life balance.
Work hard. Play hard.
Team Leader/Supervisor (Former Employee) – Las Vegas, NV – September 11, 2018
This was the kind of job you go to work and get frazzled by millions of calls but on break or lunch you could go to the recreation room. Throw some hoops, paddle some ping pong balls, destroy opponents in some CoD, or escape life with some No Man's Land. You will be working hard on tech support for new Playstation products to teach people the ropes of their soon to be impossible to live without tech box. You will be rewarded handsomely by your leadership and in general you will be satisfied.
Pros
Free products, quick advancement, best place to work in Vegas, job security
Cons
holidays, high call volume
It was very awesome. Benefits were great and the salary was enough to live under bridge.

HR Generalist (Current Employee) – Miami, FL – August 22, 2018
Solid company to work for with good compensation and benefits. Some opportunity to grow, priority is given to Japanese expats. Japanese culture is not very flexible.
Pros
Compensation and benefits, good co-workers
Cons
Inflexible culture. Not as many opportunities for locals as for Japanese expats
Sad to see such a great place to work go slowly down.
General Operator 3 (Former Employee) – Terre Haute, IN – August 9, 2018
When I started there 31 1/2 years ago it was an awsesome place to work.
Through the years due to new technology like downloading,netflicks,hulu and more competitors we started losing customers and order sizes. It was inevetible we would lose people to attrition and downsizing, ultimitly layoffs. Management were very good and did there best with what they were told to due. Now stress is very high and morale is low. The hardest part of the job is running more machines then one person can handle.

Sony is a company that is very focused on its goals and can demand a lot from its employees. It can be a challenging environment to work in but can also be rewarding.

Line lead/Floor lead (Former Employee) – Terre Haute, IN – August 7, 2018

Dying media
Truly the best place to work for gamers

Injection Mold Machine Operator, Backup GL, Train (Former Employee) – Terre Haute, IN – July 28, 2018
Sony Digital Disc Corporation has been a thriving company and a great place to work. But, Sony's digital disc is no longer needed. The advancement of technology has placed a low demand for a disc. I give Sony DADC a low rating because of the decline in jobs and the treatment of employees as demand for their product declines.
Overall a great place to work.
STAFF QC TECHNICIAN II (Former Employee) – Dothan, AL – July 27, 2018
Coordinate all test to be done by team members in the lab (all 4 shifts). Input daily test information into Excel spreadsheet and monitor charts for variations. Worked with Japanese teams when
they came to Dothan to do test runs for new tapes.

Decent job but dying business.
Packaging Machine Operator, Warehouse Management (Former Employee) – Terre Haute, IN – July 25, 2018
I wouldn't put your money in on Sony DADC. Blu-Ray discs may have a future but the company is slowly going downhill and has been over the past 20 years or so. Everything is digital.
Productive and fast paced place.
Warehouse Associate (Former Employee) – Villa Rica, GA – July 23, 2018
Working here was not bad at all. We did the same thing everyday but it was very iknteresting and fast paced. There was nothing hard about this job unless you are just lazy.
Pros
Steady work
Cons
Short breaks
Free drinks and snacks
Manager, Business Relationship Management (Former Employee) – Herndon, VA – July 19, 2018
Some perks that would keep some employees in the workplace are free drinks and snacks. There was a wide variety of soft drinks and waters as well as healthy snacks. Lunch was sometimes provided.

Production Maintenance Technician (Current Employee) – Terre Haute, IN – July 15, 2018
Typical day & Management: The job can be very stressful due to dealing with management decisions & seasonal / temp labor. I have learned a lot about the various tasks required on the maintenance of the production equipment in order to minimize downtime. Hardest part: dealing with poor managerial decisions when it comes to how to best maintain the production equipment & the raw materials supplied for the product produced by the equipment.
Pros
Decent benefit package, 401K Retirement
Cons
Poorly managed, too many members of management from day 1.
