Sony Music Entertainment Employee Reviews

Pretty lowkey, interesting perks here and there, can be monotonous at times. I enjoyed writing questions for interviews and running giveaways for artists but the content creating social media posts do take up the bulk of what you do day to day.

Toxic Management, No Orientation, Amatuer

Administrator (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 29 April 2023

Toxic management; title-driven organization; below “manager“ level positions are underpaid and restrictive; talks a big game about inclusion but does so at the exclusion of others, clique-y

Pros

New office chairs

Cons

Too many to name

Very comfortable office and helpful Co-workers

National Media Relations Intern (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 10 February 2020

If you are looking for a place to learn and commence your career. I would not recommended SONY. SONY is a place where you would have a comfortable position when you are at MID-Senior level in your career. Not recommended for entry level.

Intern (Former Employee) - North York - 30 April 2016

I was an intern for 8 months and enjoyed spending time with any worked I got to meet. Everyone was always welcoming.
