Sony Pictures Entertainment Operations Department Employee Reviews

In the 3yrs that I've worked here I've experienced both good and bad because I transitioned into a new role in a diff dept. Over the last 2yrs in this role the moral has been low in the dept and everyone is miserable. The executives are bad, use abuse of power and HR knows and does nothing about it.

Review from Operations Dept

Leadership has recently undergone vast transformation, for the better. We have leaders that not only look at the big picture - they are interested in how it all comes together. A lot of the bullies are gone after the re-org.

Review from Operations Dept

They are very concerned with the general health of the business, and do make attempts to find gaps for improvement.

Review from Operations Dept

Actually leading. They are aware of the low morale and toxic culture but don't know how or try to address it. They set the example of how not to be. Toxic people are enabled to the point where people w/top tier talent leave w/out another job lined up. Nothing changes as a result. Multiple red flags.

Review from Operations Dept

If you are promoted, the promotion rate is usually up for negotiation and you wind up being underpaid by industry standard by 10-15%. If you get a second promotion, the math adds up quickly and negotiation is largely avoided at this company.

Review from Operations Dept

Pay scale is 10-15% lower than some industry comparables.

Review from Operations Dept

Very diverse and positive culture. Still some hesitation to collaborate, as the corp re-structure is not 100% complete. For the most part, we have brilliant and passionate colleagues which makes for an exciting place to get work done.

Review from Operations Dept

Because it is so bad starting from the top, they don't learn much. We all learn how not to be. There is animosity amongst each other and major lack or communication or transparency in fear of people betraying each other.

Review from Operations Dept

HR does not pay attention to dept turn around/red flags. Executives are not thoroughly vetted before hired. When working in the entertainment industry you get a reputation for your work ethic/who you are as a person, that is not taken into account because the execs have no idea what they are doing.

Review from Operations Dept

The re-organization has been going on for well over 12 months and the ever-changing environment has laid the tracks for a less collaborative, more paranoid environment. If us underlings had a clean understanding of leadership's vision, it would help.

Review from Operations Dept

It was simple, did not have to do multiple interviews. At the time I actually had a boss who could recognize a good employee when they see them.

Review from Operations Dept

I met a few colleagues that would become my team mates, as well as the individuals that led our department.

Have a 3rd party sit in and observe

Review from Operations Dept

There are a lot of possibilities to cross-pollenate and make interesting ideas come to life.

Review from Operations Dept

They need a complete overhaul - too many stubborn "veteran" execs and employees who have some how gotten away with their toxic behavior yr over yr, with old ideas and only interested in staying employed with their bloated paychecks. Talk of personal and professional development never happens.
