Pros

Part of Sony. On the Sony lot. Sony gives lots of employee benefit perks. They are in a growth industry.

Cons

The buy fraudulent traffic to boost their comscore and views so they can seem bigger to advertisers then they really are. Also, don't ever think you are getting promoted in this company. They play favorites A LOT. This company does not value its audience at all. For over 2 years they had their customer feedback email going to an email address that no one checked. This company cares more about making cool powerpoints and excel sheets instead of a making a good product.

Pros

Steady paycheck Nice coworkers Good benefits Depending on supervisor/strategy of the day - can be very 9 to 5 Free gym They'll pay for your MBA Allows you to put digital on your resume You can say that you worked for Sony If you're a fast talker, brow noser, or grifter, you'll do really well & thrive. There are a lot of good restaurants nearby

Cons

No vision No one really cares that the product is really amateur They prefer to hire consultants and agencies to do their work because they don't know what they're doing Low morale Managers will give you the crap work that they don't want to do Managers will make you do busy work so they can try to get more headcount to justify they position Poor management Yes men, type mentality & brown nosers get promoted while people on the ground do all the work Your boss will take credit for your work and blame you for their mistakes & ineptitude They'll lie and keep you as a contractor for as long as possible before hiring you full time (if you're not management). They seem to only promote white people They make really bad decisions & rather than fix them, double down and commit to them There's no real strategy and what there is they keep changing their minds There are some senior people who are so stupid it's mind bogling They claim to be research driven but will ignore data if it doesn't support their personal agenda or taste A ton of political maneuvering Middle management doesn't share info to keep their grasp on power over employers The lay off the best employees & stick the rest with more work Management doesn't cares about your personal growth
