Fun Industry but Very Poor Executive Management

Senior manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Great product, friendly co-workers, fun industry. I loved work here at PlayStation, mostly because of the industry. I learned a lot of what NOT to do!

Cons

Executive Mgmt is clueless. PS Move, 3D and PS Vita are all failures. PS Mobile will be the next failure. I don't have a lot of confidence that Orbis will sell well as I don't see it selling to the casual audience. They simply don't need it. The company is quickly losing support of their 3rd Party Publishers.

Pros

Sony Computer Entertainment America (Sony Playstation, San Diego - California) has a nice work ambiance along with friendly co workers and professional employees.

Cons

Very little supervision from senior management but then it depends on the seniority of your job profile. You are expected to enter and start giving results immediately without and training.

Not a bad job, but it could be much better.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation and benefits for entry level positions.

Cons

Poor management, HR is useless. Little to no team cohesion. Work Schedule has long periods of intense crunching followed by long periods of having almost nothing to work on. Studio culture tends to suck all creativity and enthusiasm out of the job.
