Pros

Great incentives at the company store. Cafeteria food was easily some of the best in the GTA. Friendly office environment.

Cons

Very little leadership from senior management. Organizationally very flat with almost no opportunity for advancement. Senior management is very much an "old boys club" and enjoy patting themselves on the back more than they care about driving business. Promotions are given out not on merit, but on popularity and exposure. Sony of Canada offers "jobs" as opposed to "careers" to potential employees.

Pros

The only reason that I found best is the flexible timings. Good Enough for engineers to learn basics like C, C++ and OS concepts

Cons

Work here is at Testing , Execution and Maintenance (TEM ). But while giving interviews , the interviewer would ask each and every details about the components ( e.g Graphics , Multimedia , Codecs etc ). I dont know why they ask so much questions when the work is into TEM.

Pros

Dinamic with a tremendous respec for its employees which is also translated into Career Development. Fast paced with multi challenges. True Global Organization. Freedom to create and develop your work delivering results.

Cons

Sometimes very Swedish minded which may not fit into all different cultures. Working with an extremelly tigh headcount wich overloads too much employees who can burn out easily. Some personal preferencesrelated to professionals may overrule performance and real talents.
