Internally Playstation has a huge cultural problem with black and brown people. casual racism is the norm. Good diversity on everything else however as long as its white or asian.

Pros

Good pay and benefits, nice perks, decent office, Starbucks, cafeteria.

Cons

Toxic culture all around. Ex-Intuit leadership uses bullying, intimidation, and public humiliation to strongarm people into their ways. Japanese culture is typical hierarchical, micromanagement, imitation of your superiors, rule following, and don't color outside the lines to command and control the staff. The result is there is no leadership at Sony because the focus is all on managing down to control the Engineers and tell them how to do their job. To add, since the Japanese culture is robotic and lacks human empathy, they do not understand or recognize the criticality of soft skills and human interaction in business leadership, so tend to make poor business decisions and hiring decisions.

Pros

The people are great for the most part, everyone buckles down and gets things shipped when crunch time, and nobody gets on our case when there's a light workload.

Cons

I hadn't heard of a real firing for years, but now it's rampant. Demotions are all the craze these days, the atmosphere from we're getting from the top is that they don't care about us. They fired our scrum masters, I have yet to meet one person who thinks this was a good decision - everyone agrees that it sucks. The bureaucratic nonsense is frustrating - copy everything from one website and place it to another site to show other people who don't like looking at the first site. This new crew is causing gossip where there was very little before, they are scaring everyone away and there is no end in sight, and no positive gain either.
