Pros

The atmosphere is pleasant because of nice colleagues and good team spirit. Depending on your team, there might be flexible home office / modified working hours possibility (in an ad hoc way). Also team dependant, but you might have several possibilities to travel to foreign Sony offices. Usually the work-life balance is okay, but overtime might be necessary sometimes.

Cons

The managers in Western European Offices are well experienced and usually excellent leaders, however we can not say the same from the Budapest Office (Sony Europe). Partly because of the difficult centralization processes, but also because of some incompetent team leaders / managers. (SSE) The managerial decision making process has a last minute style - or/and the communication is very late. There's no such "long run plans" communicated. Lately there are less travel and training opportunities due to general cost cut. No team buildings. Lack of performance measurement and indicators. There's not much chance to contribute to your bonus level. No career plan within the company (or very few possibilities for changing). Insufficient back-up system.
