      Some good perks but too much reliance on outside consultants

      Pros

      Every other Friday off. Some great coworkers.

      Cons

      Some office politics. People vying for power. Recent marketing overhaul was very disheartening. No care for current employees before allowing an outside consulting firm give a song and dance and wiping out part of the work force.

      If you aren't a sound engineer, run away...

      Pros

      If you are a sound engineer, this is a cool company to work for. Lots of really smart engineers, nice offices, mostly reasonable hours. Engineers are treated with respect and their contributions are greatly valued.

      Cons

      If you work outside of engineering, your work and contributions are considered inconsequential. Although Dolby is still relatively small, there is an ivory tower attitude on the part of management and there is little or no tolerance for hearing anything other than what they want to hear.
