Sony

Sony is a global entertainment and technology group that works across movies, music, video games and electronics. The company states that its purpose is to fill the world with emotion through the power of creativity and technology, a purpose it centres on the Japanese concept of Kando, often translated as the feeling of being deeply moved. Alongside that purpose, the group describes its corporate direction as getting closer to people as it pursues further growth. Sony is organised as a set of group companies rather than a single business, a structure common among diversified conglomerates that span several industries.

Sony's business areas include gaming on the PlayStation 5 console, film and television, music, and cameras, including G Master super-telephoto lenses. Combining consumer hardware with games, films and music in one group is uncommon among large companies, most of which specialise in either devices or content. The company aims to produce technology, entertainment and services for consumers worldwide, with offerings designed to excite people and make them smile.

Sony has offices around the globe, and Sony Group Corporation publishes information about the group worldwide in English and Japanese, with access to country and regional Sony sites through its electronics pages. The company describes its global workforce as diverse and focused on learning and growing together through mutual respect, and it presents its culture as driven by innovation and a commitment to going beyond the status quo. Prospective employees are directed to the individual Sony group companies, reflecting how hiring in diversified groups typically takes place within each operating business.
