      Great engineers, terrible management.

      Pros

      None really, patents running out, new projects that have no compelling attributes or future, and a management that is promoting cutthroat behaviors across the board.

      Cons

      Ray Dolby would be terribly unhappy with what has become of his legacy.

      Pros

      Good work life balance. The company/groups are small enough where the work you do REALLY matters. I get to make an impact on the projects I work on and have access to projects that might outside of my job scope. I'm encouraged to push the boundaries. Currently we are working in 3 buildings in San Francisco ... makes face time hard with some groups (looking forward to the move at the end of 2014 to our new building). The marketing department was a mess for a very long time, but it really appears they are making HUGE strides in the right direction with the recent hire of the new CMO Bob Borchers. I'm experiencing a more friendly and effective group than I had in the first 4 years of working here. Dolby is also making a very conscious effort to get us involved in the local community with volunteer opportunities. Competitive benefits. The 9/80 schedule is the best!

      Cons

      Slow to make decisions. Tends to be an introverted company (expected when working with engineers and scientist??)

      Pros

      Fun if you like tech Hands-on experience with lots of responsibility since there are many business lines that require each function

      Cons

      Marketing and sales dept is a bit disorganized Favoritism among management of employees can prevail when employee doesn't earn it
