      Pros

      The people. Super, super smart people. Great brand recognition with superb corporate history. New corporate offices are very nice. Their technology and dedication to excellence is without equal.

      Cons

      Decision making is rife with tedious deliberation which drags things out beyond where they need be. Some teams seem lack alignment with each other around strategy and focus. Inadequate time allowed to discovery process on new initiatives forcing quality to be challenged by delivery dates. IT is underfunded and under resourced.

      Pros

      Very nice and really hard working people to work with.9/80 is awesome. Some amazing,mindblowing vision and audio technology developed here. Great potential for new products for Dolby Vision /Dolby Atmos if executed properly. Its is highly possible that every Display Device sold in 5 yrs from now could be capable of Dolby Vision.Lot depends on execution.

      Cons

      Management completely lacks innovation in bringing new ideas to market. Time to market is very very very slow. Upper management lack foresight and keeps adding/changing new product requirement way too often. Stock price for the last 5 yrs goes only one way and its not north. Poor stock compensation.
