DTS reviews

No matter what great feats you achieve, if one or more of the high ups doesn't like you, you're treated like the cleaning staff. Extremely dishonest managers and illegal firings are the rule of law here, covered by a pay-out to sign away your rights. There was a lot of back-biting and scheming apparent and several two-faced managers you wouldn't want to share anything with.

The core business of DTS is audio codecs and due to the decrease of disk sales and increased online delivery the company has an ongoing identity crisis, which recently had upper management cash-out in a sell-off to Tessera/Xperi. The company itself has in the past tried to diversify into "audio solutions" with mixed success. All of this, along with a culture in which every other person is a "VP" of something and trying hard to hold on to their political status makes the atmosphere aggressive and ignorant at the same time. Over the past years there has been multiple rounds of layoffs creating a sense of doom among much of the staff.
