PlayStation reviews

The organization is recovering from years of poor leadership that has left a bloated and inefficient organization. Many of the bad reviews you are seeing on Glassdoor are from a minority of disgruntled employees who are unwilling or unable to adapt to needed change. It is no longer acceptable to be paid just to come to work which is a good thing in my book!

- Incompetence is sometimes tolerated indefinitely, true to the life-employment model of Japan - Managers frequently lack the most fundamental people management skills and don't know how to motivate their employees - Lack of open conflict leads to a lot of back-channeling, politics and having to read between the lines - In the Tokyo office, expectations about work hours are insane and no one can work from home, which leads to female workers still largely being forced to choose between having career success and being single, or having a decent but unimpressive job at PlayStation and having a family - The super-Agile style of the San Fransisco office frequently clashes with the Waterfall thinking of Tokyo - As of 2018, analytics is still not a big part of decision making and a lot of product managers are weak - Employee performance management is unpredictable and convoluted. There are no company-wide OKRs and it's hard to understand how performance goals are measured
