Pros

9/80 which is great when you have kids.

Cons

Extremely slow decision making process. Dolby still depends on old school methodologies and software development process. Upper management is obsessed old school technology and have no idea what's happening in the industry. The research is primarily composed of people who have been here for 20+ years and have no idea what's going on in the industry.

Pros

It’s a 9/80 schedule which is nice.

Cons

You can feel isolated when your manager refuses to let you move up due to a controlling reputation.

Pros

Every other Friday off. Great employee talent, but generall untapped.

Cons

Management is a joke...CEO is a disaster. He's there about 8 years and has not grown the business. Exec Leaders fund new business groups that have failed to ship a single product in 7 years.
