Pros

You get a decent discount off Sony products (Does not apply to PlayStation)

Cons

- Most of upper management is out of touch and not capable of leading a company in the high-tech sector - The attitude by most men towards women at Sony Canada is borderline disgusting and completely ignored by management and HR - Human Resources does not have the interests of employees at heart, instead sides with management due to the political culture - Marketing Department is inept and 3 years behind the times - Sony Canada's entire marketing department is the most poorly organized department I've ever seen - The company is dominated by politics and promotions aren't based on talent or skill

Pros

The connection between departments gives a very good insight into how the company operates Patient, helpful people

Cons

Management doesn't seem to know or care about each other's subordinates duties and assign a heavy load of different types of tasks whether that employee knows how to do it or not.

Pros

The majority of staff are great to work with. There are lots of experienced staff that have just been made redundant that other companies can benefit from.

Cons

Management system is is poor, they have the wrong people in the wrong positions based on friendship rather than if they are any god at the job. Human Resources are incompetent and unprofessional at their jobs. Promotion is extremely limited and is through who you know rather than what you know.
