I've been using SN Systems tools since PSOne®. IOP programming started with PlayStation®2 and from the beginning ProDG supported this, which was good news for the few IOP programmers around at the time. I quickly bought the tools and started using them, and though you would think there were hardly any users of the IOP, SN responded quickly to any problems and requests I had on the IOP side.
What really helped was the speed of their support - it was so quick that I hardly noticed the time difference. I think this is down to the well-structured Japanese support system as well as the enthusiasm of the toolmakers themselves.

Quite simply, we can offer you the opportunity to build a great career in a fast-moving, challenging environment, where you can develop your talent to its full potential.
We are keen to hear from innovative individuals with proven experience.
SN Systems has been developing development tools for the games industry since 1988 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc (SCE) in 2005. During that time, the number of employees has grown at a steady rate and recently topped the half century mark resulting in the Bristol headquarters moving to new and larger premises, still within easy walking distance of the city centre.
While the majority of staff are based in the Bristol HQ, further recruitment has led to the opening of two satellite offices in San Jose, CA, USA and Dublin, Ireland. Foreign travel across the globe is quite common and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc, staff may be expected to visit Japan and North America as well as travel throughout Europe and other continents for exhibitions, visiting development studios or even longer-term placements.
Generally, the office operates on a flexible approach around core hours. An excellent benefits package is also on offer.
Casual dress code is the norm, except when attending exhibitions or external meetings where dressing appropriately is expected.
