Hello, I'm talking to a recruiter about a contract swe position for Sony PlayStation. How are contractors treated there? Do they get any employee benefits? How often do conversions happen? I'm very interested in company and team, but not sure if I want to move from full time to 9 month contract.

    Depends on location and team. I can only speak for San Mateo. There is a contract length cap of I think 36 total months. I've seen people converted within three months to some after 7 years. Benefits wise, contractors in San Mateo can buy discounted games and console from the on-site employee store but if at other sites than no luck. Can participate in holiday parties and launch events.

      Kind of off topic - but are there any good entry roles at PlayStation for someone transitioning into tech? My wife has about 5 yoe in program management at a tiny biotech start up. She had an interview for a project manager contract role and didn’t get through because they grilled her for not having software exp.... anything else she might consider at PlayStation?

    Depends upon your contract. My team had a contractor and it was written no oncall so he used to work 9-6.

    As for benefits, no discount on games, electronics or free ps+, day ro day life it was treated as employee.

    In my location conversion rate was pretty good. Apart from 1 team all others converted to fte.
