Sony Computer Entertainment Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"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."

"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 enjoyed working for SCEA, but it was a poor company at which to begin my career. Unfortunately, there is very little room for growth -- aside from a select important few, layoffs are the norm for most employees."

"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.

"For some reasons, my contract ends without 2 weeks notice."

"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.
