Working at Sony Computer Entertainment in Foster City, CA: 9 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Foster City, CA Area

"I've been here for some time now. There is no real chance to move up. Great for experience. Not recommended for the long term. Their staffing company really destroys the chance to be an actual Sony employee there. Great job to have if you're right out of high school."

"Working at Sony Entertainment in Korea was a valuable experience. My responsibilities were very similar to the principle duties of a QA supervisor. I tested the functionality of software, detected potential issues, translated between multiple languages, and many more. On one hand, I learned how to accomplish each technical task; on the other, I learned how to problem solve and adapted to the work environment."

"Sony Computer Entertainment is a very good overall company, offering their employees a very good working environment, and opportunities to succeed and advance. I always felt good about my position and standing at Sony, but unfortunately was part of a company wide executive initiative to lay off most all of the people that had been there for numerous years, and I had been there since the beginning, having built the QA department. I would still highly recommend SCEA to anyone."

"I worked at Sony Playstation for nine months. They are so paranoid about outsiders stealing their secrets that you can actually get in trouble for asking questions. It made my job as a liaison between software developers and tech writers documenting the installation and use of their code almost impossible.Workstations and equipment for debugging the Playstations were outstanding."

"Love my team and the projects I have focused on. Though there are challenges working in a multinational environment, I have great respect for everyone I work with across the board. This has been a wonderful position as a database developer with exceptional freedom and support to work independently."
