Sony Europe, from its own careers pages
The catch: Rolling recruitment with an early close risk, so apply soon rather than working to a deadline. The office expects you on site three days a week. One advert still says you will join the 2026 Sony Intern cohort, which looks like a copy left over from last year; the start date of 5 July 2027 is the reliable line.
