      Pros

      Discount on products specially given during diwali, Medical compensation

      Cons

      Only testing projects and very few maybe 2-3 maintainance project. Politics is in every organisation but some teams in Sony beat all. Only people who butter their bosses are retain ,if u open your mouth against any issue /any injustice spineless managers will throw you into some other projects. Girls are not treated with respect in some teams. They will hire developers and give work of testers. Even if you confirm that your role is of development while joining,suddenly any day they will change your team and you are forced to join testing projects. Dont trust anything which they tell you while joining,any fine day your project is changed and your profile changes from developer to tester. If you continue in testing project for long,then its become difficult to get back to development projects and your whole career is ruined. If you refuse to change your current project they will degrade you morally. Developers profile can change anytime into tester. Salary is low compared to other organisation.

      Pros

      Working environment is good. The company offers a lot of training courses which should help you to acquire some new / further skill in wide variety of technology domains as long as you are keen on it. You can try whatever you would like to try and come up with any idea which may improve your way of working, development process etc.. Friendly co-workers help you if you are at a loss about how to get over difficulties which you are facing.

      Cons

      The company is too big to take prompt action/decision in a timely manner. Bad bureaucracy is there. Such divisions seem to develop quite a lot of rules which have to be strictly followed for the purpose of their own survival in the company, which prevents development efficiency etc.. Upper management doesn't really understand software which is the key to the success of this company.
