I worked for Sony and different I agree on, in a good way? To me, no way!
What I didn't like
2 check points between the front door and where my work area was. metal detector that ALWAYS went off for everybody. The guard knew me but always looked my name up to double check, annoying.
30 minute lunch, basically driving anywhere to eat was a pain in the ass
last point especially bad when you didn't make it out before most other people and were stuck behind a long line of people getting wanded because they set off the metal detector. Some days because of this my lunch was almost cut in half almost.
make it to the lunch room when you didn't get out at the head of the line anbd already lost half your lunch, well loose more while you wait in the lunch line for the one chef to cook you food. I loved those 6 minute to eat lunches lol.
breaks suck when you gotta wait in the metal detector line, 15 minutes = 9 minutes + having to walk to the break room. BLAH!
also felt like I was in prison, they monitored everything, take a restroom break when it wasn't break? UH OH! They were also very strict and overly anal about static, we had to wear smocks and some heal strap ALWAYS, if we took them off it was big trouble.
I don't know how any other Japanese companies are run, but if this is par for the course I hope to never be employed by them again
