"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."

Sony Computer Entertainment Employee

"I worked for SCEA for a time and while the company was a fun company to work for, and most of my coworkers were wonderful people, my manager made the place hostile and demoralizing. I lasted longer than anyone else who held my position before me, but the company's insistence on keeping terrible managers made it impossible to stay at and grow in."

Technical Operations Specialist

"I've been with this company for a total of 5 years and have moved up in the ranks and into various groups internally. It is an exciting place to work as the gaming industry is a particular passion of mine. Though there are some upper management disconnect with the current job I perform and their expectations. Otherwise, the environment is very lively and my immediate coworkers are excellent people to work with. I would recommend this company to anyone interested in the gaming industry."
