Sony, the global electronics and entertainment conglomerate, employs about 2,235 people according to the latest available head-count data. The organisation recorded 114 recent hires against 188 departures, indicating a slight contraction in overall staff size. Even with this change, the company maintains a sizable and diverse talent pool that supports its broad portfolio of consumer electronics, gaming, music, and film businesses.
Engineering is the largest function, housing roughly 524 employees—or just over one-fifth of total staff—highlighting Sony’s continued emphasis on research, design, and product development. Business Management follows with 404 employees, while Marketing & Product and Sales & Support account for 319 and 278 employees, respectively, underscoring the importance of go-to-market and customer-facing capabilities. Finance & Administration (221) and Operations (155) together provide critical backbone services, whereas specialised groups such as Information Technology (109), Human Resources (52), and Legal (38) round out corporate support needs. An additional 135 employees fall under an “Other” category, reflecting niche or emerging functions.
Sony’s workforce is widely distributed, with 1,375 employees—more than half of the total—classified under “Other,” suggesting a large remote or globally dispersed presence beyond major hubs. Among named sites, New York (210 employees) and Los Angeles (194) are the two largest U.S. offices, complemented by significant teams in Tokyo (177) and San Diego (142). Smaller concentrations are present in San Francisco (63) and San Jose (36), while Austin, Terre Haute, and Nashville each host fewer than 15 employees. This spread indicates Sony’s strategy of balancing headquarters and creative centres with regional offices and flexible locations.
