Pros
Fun Culture, Great People , MD who was passionate about the Brand. Social events and incentives + benefits great. Sales Team leadership was great.
Cons
Salary not competitive, OLD systems and technology, No direction from direct management, MD who lived and breathed the brand and cared about everyone was let go after launching the business 20+ years ago. Heartless. Collaboration between departments is not encouraged. Absolute boys club, no female managers. My manager would pile work on top of me even though i was struggling and concerns were laughed off.
PlayStation2019-05-14 "Great place to work but not a great deal of opportunity to progress"
StarStarStarStarStarI have been working at PlayStation
Pros
Great people, culture and generally a fun place to work
Cons
Not a lot of opportunity to progress and can end up pigeon holed in the industry. Generally systems and technology aren't at the level you would expect. Salaries and packages aren't at the level you would expect
Advice to Management
More attractive salaries and more opportunities to grow in the business would help retain staff

Pros
Amazing products, world renown brand, great culture, fantastic people, great office location, constantly changing landscape.
Cons
There is a real lack of real leadership with constant changes in direction and strategy. Senior management tends to micromanage and does not allow staff to make critical decisions. Everything was run by committee having to go through 3 or 4 people to get a decision made.
Advice to Management
Stop micro-managing people and empower them to make decisions that they are employed to make.

Pros
Very dedicated and talented people. Free Swag and nice benefits offered (although trying to take advantage of the educational offering is a joke). Pay was OK, PlayStation has very little raises, while SIE made a better effort. Getting promoted was a long drawn out never ending list of demands that never resulted in actual promotions, those are reserved for assassins and besties.
Cons
Politics, back stabbing and bullying. Management is interested in hiding the truth from leadership rather than being transparent. Managers devalue dedicated employees and promote the assassins and ass-kissers types. Good ole' boys club. Some leadership has brought in their cronies to create and maintain silo's resulting in unproductive turf wars.
Advice to Management
Encourage the hiring and promotion of the right kinds of people that will help create a more productive and transparent environment so you can make the best improvements for the long-term good. Get rid of your silos. Be honest about how you promote and hire and stop the nepotism if you want a team motivated by the good of the company. Give minorities an opportunity to bring value to your teams (often teams reflect...
