The friendly attitudes used by everyone

Review from Marketing Dept

Gym, dentist, nutritionist, coffee shops, multiple places to get food all on the lot - great working environment

Review from Marketing Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Get rid of OKRs. Develop empathy and other leadership skills.

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

Company needs better executive leadership that can execute on people management as well as numbers. Current leadership does not care about their team members, they only care about projects. Can't say this for all departments, but definitely true for some.

Review from Marketing Dept

Ideally, the manager and supervisor need to be removed and an entire new team brought in that meets with the head of the department. A fish rots from the head down and this department is the worst at Sony pictures.

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.
