The application process
Email your CV, along with a one-page cover letter with the subject “Graduate Opportunity Application” to SonyAcademyWales@Sony.com, as your first step.
*Please ensure to note which business area you are interested in applying for.
**Please also note that due to the high volume of applicants, we won’t be able to contact those who have been unsuccessful at this stage.
Applicants who have been successful in the first stage of the process will be invited to an open day event which will include a tour of our facility, an assessment activity alongside other applicants, and an interview with the managers responsible for the business area in which they have applied. The details of the assessment vary each year depending on the disciplines we offer, but you will be informed in advance about what that may entail. This is your opportunity to tell us all about yourself and why you think Sony UK TEC is a good fit for you. Before you attend, do your best to learn about what we do here in South Wales, and let us know why you think you’ll make the greatest impact in your chosen business area.
If you have cleared the first two stages successfully, you will be invited to a final stage interview with our HR team and our recruiting managers. At this stage, you may be asked to take an Insights Discovery Test, which we hope you’ll also find fun and insightful.
We’ll endeavour to contact you within two weeks of your final interview to inform you of your success. During this time, if you have been successful we will also confirm your start date.
*Please note we will not be contacting the unsuccessful candidates.
