I have an offer from Sony Playstation as a Platform Engineer. Have been a huge fan of gaming through the years and this feels like an interesting assignment for me, but given the economic environment, how good of an idea is it to join playstation? Any insights into the company culture would be helpful, and also any whispers on potential layoffs etc? YOE: 6 Current TC: 220k (HCOL) New TC : 230k (MCOL)
Is the $230k w/ bonus?
Yes. Target percentage. But I have heard that they pay out more than target percentage usually.
They did in the past. They've changed the bonus structure starting this year so things may be different. Bonuses seem to have been on a decline since 2020.
Also, this place is corrupt with management politics. If you are good at politics and diversity BS sign up for it. No rewards for hard work.
Good work culture and work life balance but no stocks and pay is peanuts compared to market
Which office?
