Pros

Sony has many talented hardware and advanced technology researchers.

It is possible to work on interesting projects of your own design.

Cons

Sony is both bureaucratic and highly political. This environment makes it extremely difficult to get anything shipped, and never in the right form.

Advice to Management

Reorganize the HR and finance organizations. Give employees equity in the company. Re-arrange Sony to have a startup culture rather than a big company culture.
